I can now confirm that
https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/requirements/+/810859 fixes my CI
use case.  (By temporarily using a fork of the requirements repo that
includes that change.)

(Fix detail if needed here:
https://github.com/projectcalico/networking-calico/pull/64/commits/cbed6282405957f7d60b6e0790c91fb852afe84c
)

Best wishes.
