The 'cmd2' distribution was not found and is required by the application

The issue is caused because cmd2 is not installed with pip-autoremove
Solution:
- Add
cmd2as a dependency insetup.pyfile socmd2is installed automatically and this will fix the issue.
For now, any user who is facing this issue can manually install cmd2 with following command:
pip install cmd2
In my case in addition to cmd2 I also needed to install pyyaml.
Also brotli and email-validator...
cmd2 is not a requirement of pip-autoremove, nor are any of the packages mentioned here (pyyaml, brotli, or email-validator.) The only requirements for pip-autoremove are pip and setuptools which are basically defaults (though not actually part of the stdlib. Checkout my fork for an updated version of pip-autoremove that fixes many of the issues here.
Should be addressed by #42 and the new release, please close if that resolves your issue.
I get this message:
The 'python-lsp-server' distribution was not found and is required by the application
with the new version. However:
- I can't see any functionality that's missing from pip-autoremove without that package. I just get the warning. Like you say, it doesn't appear to be a real requirement.
- Installing python-lsp-server does indeed make the warning go away.
It feels like this warning is not about pip-autoremove itself, but a side effect of checking one of the many installed packages. Is the cmd2 package warning in the title of this issue the same thing? A good fix for this would be for pip-autoremove to detect when this is happening (possibly difficult) and identify the package that is complaining.
Similarly, I get these helpful, but ambiguous messages from pip-autoremove:
jedi 0.18.0 is installed but jedi<0.18.0,>=0.17.2 is required
Redoing requirement with just package name...
PyPDF2 1.26.0 is installed but PyPDF2==1.24 is required
Redoing requirement with just package name...
unrar-cffi 0.2.1 is installed but unrar-cffi==0.1.0a5 is required
Redoing requirement with just package name...
natsort 7.1.1 is installed but natsort==3.5.2 is required
Redoing requirement with just package name...
Which package wants an older version of jedi? If a subprocess is producing that message then, again, this gets difficult, but if pip-autoremove is creating this message then mentioning which package wants an older version would be helpful.
