Anyway to override subdependency of a dependency?

[tigerinus]

The following issue is found in our code packed by Pyinstaller:

• bug/opencv-python should be headless to avoid dependency on Xorg Unstructured-IO/unstructured#2503

Basically I'd like to override dependency C of dependency B of my code A.

Although it's not a Pyinstaller issue, I wonder if there is anyway to workaround it?

Thanks.

As far as PyInstaller is concerned, if you want opencv-python-headless collected instead of opencv-python, you should ensure that the former is available/installed in the build environment instead of the latter.

I.e., you could remove opencv-python and install opencv-python-headless after installing whatever pulled opencv-python in, and before running PyInstaller:

...
pip uninstall opencv-python
pip install opencv-python-headless
...
