When I set a specific version for a package in my Pipfile and use pipenv install that specific version is installed. However, when I use pipenv install --dev and one of the dev packages requires that first package (regardless of version) my specified version number isn't respected.
An example is probably best:
$ pipenv --version
pipenv, version 9.0.3
$ pipenv --python 3

It's important to note that the requirements on django-debug-toolbar are >=1.11, so there's no need to upgrade the Django package, and yet, that's exactly what's happening.
Is this a bug, or something I've done wrong?
It turns out this was a bug (now fixed), so if someone else runs into this, now you know where to look :-)
