Description

Running conda install torchvision -c pytorch results in PyTorch 0.4.1-py36_py35_py27__9.0.176_7.1.2_2 being installed for me, although I have a newer version compiled from source installed.

The requirements should be configured in a way that newer PyTorch versions are also accepted.
At a minimum, a note should be added to the Readme to install PyTorch after installing torchvision.

Research direction

Inspect torchvision's dependency metadata and the README, then reproduce the reported conda install torchvision -c pytorch behavior with an existing newer PyTorch installation. Done means the install no longer replaces or requires an older PyTorch version, or the README clearly documents installing PyTorch afterward.
