# ERROR: Ignored the following yanked versions: 1.2.3

## Root Cause

The specific version was yanked from PyPI due to bugs or security issues.

## Version Compatibility

| Version | Status | Introduced | Deprecated |
|---------|--------|------------|------------|
| 3.8 | active | — | — |
| 3.9 | active | — | — |
| 3.10 | active | — | — |
| 3.11 | active | — | — |
| 3.12 | active | — | — |

## Workarounds

1. **** (95% success)
   ```
   Install a different version: `pip install foo==1.2.0` or the latest.
   ```
2. **** (80% success)
   ```
   If you must use the yanked version, install from a wheel file directly: `pip install foo-1.2.3-py3-none-any.whl`.
   ```

## Dead Ends

- **** — pip explicitly ignores yanked versions unless they are the only option; forcing may require pinning with `--force-reinstall` but still risky. (70% fail)
- **** — Yanked versions are not pre-releases; flag does not help. (90% fail)
