Description

On an Ubuntu-based environment, installing opencv-python-headless 4.13.0.90 with --no-binary fails because it has no source distribution.

There is no sdist entries in : https://pypi.org/pypi/opencv-python-headless/4.13.0.90/json

Steps to reproduce:

  • Create an environment with python 3.11
  • Install via:
    pip install --no-binary opencv-python-headless --no-deps opencv-python-headless==4.13.0.90

Actual result

No solution found when resolving dependencies.

Using Python 3.11.14 environment at: venv
  × No solution found when resolving dependencies:
  ╰─▶ Because opencv-python-headless==4.13.0.90 has no source distribution and
      you require opencv-python-headless==4.13.0.90, we can conclude that your
      requirements are unsatisfiable.

Expected result

Installation with --no-binary available.

Environment:

OS: Ubuntu 24.04.3
Python 3.11.14 (uv venv)

Research direction

Start by reproducing the listed Python 3.11 command with --no-binary and inspect the package's build and release configuration. Compare the 4.13.0.90 PyPI JSON metadata with a version that includes source distributions; done means the package publishes an sdist that can be installed with the reported command.
