OSV prior to version 2.0 is unable to parse pip version specs correctly, as explained by one of the developers in the following comment from January 2025: google/osv-scanner#1483 (comment) The suggested workaround is to configure osv-scanner to ignore the particular cases it complains about. The following are all about NumPy, because osv-scanner can't understand the version spec "numpy>=1.24,<2.0" and therefore raises errors about all versions of NumPy, including very old ones. Ignoring these specific dependencies is okay because we will never use the old versions of NumPy and it doesn't block detection of future new vulnerabilities.
