Package is not updating, but why?

General Usage Performance

I have a private package (which I cannot share) where DataFrames is not updating.
I cannot find any reason in the Project.toml file why it should be fixed to v1.3.6.

Should Pkg.status(; outdated=true) provide the reason why it is not updating?
As you can see below it does not say anything (except that 1.4.0 is available, but that is not being pulled).

This is no big issue, but if you have any idea how I can find out why it is not updating, let me know please.

Have you tried add DataFrames@1.4 explicitly? This often provides hints about what’s holding it back

Thanks. It seems to be related to Compat.
DataFrames wants Compat >= 4.2
But AWS wants Compat <= 3.46

Although I wonder why Pkg.status(outdated=true) did not report this by default.

(jl_wNcgNe) pkg> st -m --outdated
Status `/tmp/jl_wNcgNe/Manifest.toml`
⌃ [fbe9abb3] AWS v1.77.0 (<v1.78.0)
⌅ [34da2185] Compat v3.46.0 (<v4.3.0): AWS, Mocking # <---------------------
⌃ [a93c6f00] DataFrames v1.3.6 (<v1.4.1)
⌅ [08abe8d2] PrettyTables v1.3.1 (<v2.1.2): DataFrames

It does report it but to see Compat you need to make status show more than just the project deps.

Thanks I did not know the -m option.
In my original code, st already shows me that its outdated. The outdated keyword additionally shows the new version.

I thought that some of the Pkg feedback told me that outdated should show the reason for it not being able to update. This is what irritated me. But the answers in this thread were all quite helpful and educating.
