Fix APK resolver for version constraints on provided packages
Summary
This PR fixes a critical bug in the APK resolver that was causing numpy and pytorch packages to fail building in Wolfi/Chainguard. The resolver wasn't correctly handling version constraints when packages were found via their provides entries.
The Problem
When migrating from py3-numpy to versioned packages like py3.12-numpy, we hit an issue:
-
Package structure:
-
py3.12-numpy(version 2.1.0) providespy3-numpy=2.1.0 -
py3.12-numpy(version 1.26.4) providespy3-numpy=1.26.4 - PyTorch requires
py3-numpy<2.0
-
-
The bug:
- When resolving
py3-numpy<2.0, APK would find packages providingpy3-numpy - But it incorrectly checked the package's own version (e.g.,
py3.12-numpyversion 2.1.0) against the constraint - It didn't check the version specified in the provides clause (
py3-numpy=2.1.0) - Result: APK couldn't find ANY package satisfying
py3-numpy<2.0, even thoughpy3.12-numpy-1.26.4providespy3-numpy=1.26.4
- When resolving
The Solution
This PR adds context awareness to the package filtering logic:
-
Query context tracking: Added
queryNameto track which name was used to find packages -
Proper version checking:
- When querying
py3-numpy<2.0, only checks versions relevant topy3-numpy - Checks the version in the provides clause when a package was found via provides
- Only checks the package's own version when querying by its actual name
- When querying
- Backward compatibility: For provides without explicit versions, falls back to the package's version
Why This Matters
This fix is critical for:
- Unblocking builds: PyTorch and other packages depending on numpy can now build
-
Python package migration: Enables migration from
py3-*topy3.XX-*versioned packages - Preventing future conflicts: Each Python version can have its own package versions without conflicts
- Proper constraint solving: APK can now correctly resolve complex version constraints on virtual packages
Testing
- Added comprehensive test case
TestNumpyVersionConstraintWithProvidesthat reproduces the exact scenario - All existing tests pass
- Verified the fix handles:
- Direct version constraints on provided names
- Transitive dependencies with version constraints
- Provides with and without explicit versions
Impact
This fixes the current build failures in:
- https://github.com/chainguard-dev/extra-packages/pull/3792 (pytorch pinning)
- https://github.com/wolfi-dev/os/pull/56095 (numpy package removal issues)
And enables the planned migration away from py3-* packages as discussed in the incident.

As far as I can tell the tests added here work with the current version of apko: https://github.com/chainguard-dev/apko/pull/1862
