Public bug reported: Leveraging `PIP_BREAK_SYSTEM_PACKAGES`, I expect to be able to install the latest version of wheel.
``` docker run --rm -it ubuntu:noble bash -c 'apt update; DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt install -y python3-pip; PIP_BREAK_SYSTEM_PACKAGES=1 pip install -U wheel' ``` Instead this errors with: ``` Requirement already satisfied: wheel in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages (0.42.0) Collecting wheel Downloading wheel-0.43.0-py3-none-any.whl.metadata (2.2 kB) Downloading wheel-0.43.0-py3-none-any.whl (65 kB) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 65.8/65.8 kB 1.4 MB/s eta 0:00:00 Installing collected packages: wheel Attempting uninstall: wheel Found existing installation: wheel 0.42.0 ERROR: Cannot uninstall wheel 0.42.0, RECORD file not found.
