3.4.2+ Circular dependency. Package 'prefect[client]' is listed as a dependency of itself.

Bug summary

There is an issue installing any version of prefect greater than 3.2.1 using Poetry. I have not tested other package managers. This feels related to the recent uv changes.

docker run --rm python:3.12-slim pip install poetry && poetry init -n --name test || true && poetry add [email protected]

docker run --rm python:3.12-slim pip install poetry && poetry init -n --name test || true && poetry add [email protected]

`Package 'prefect[client]' is listed as a dependency of itself.`

There is a circular dependency here

I have been experiencing similar behavior. Using Poetry version 1.8.5, [email protected] is the last version I can install, but I agree 3.2.3, 3.2.4, and 3.2.5 are not currently installable.

poetry add [email protected]

To expand, this will also impact users who do not specify a version of Prefect due to Poetry's default behavior:

poetry add prefect      
Using version ^3.2.5 for prefect

Thanks for the report @rustyguts! This is fixed in 3.2.6 which was just released!
