google_auth-2.40.3.dist-info file on PyPI contains erroneous requirement

[erempel]

When building an RPM for RHEL from the PyPI package the requirements in the dist-info file result in and incorrect version requirement in the RPM.

Environment details

• OS: RHEL7/8/9
• Python version: 3.9, 3.11, 3.12
• pip version: 3.9, 3.11, 3.12
• google-auth version: 2.40.3

Steps to reproduce

I'm not going to reproduce the whole rpm build process

%install
%{__python} -m pip install --no-deps %{name}==%{version} --prefix %{_prefix} --root %{buildroot}

%files
%defattr(-,root,root)
/usr/lib*/python%{python_abi}/site-packages/*

Results in a package with a dependency of

python3.12dist(cachetools) < 6.0

The dist-info fileline

METADATA:Requires-Dist: cachetools<6.0,>=2.0.0

should reflect the version from the setup.py file

METADATA:Requires-Dist: cachetools<7.0,>=2.0.0

This is WAI. The release PR which allows cachtools 6.x is still pending: googleapis/google-auth-library-python#1797

See https://github.com/googleapis/google-auth-library-python/blob/v2.40.3/setup.py#L23

Transferring to google-cloud-python as the code for google-auth-library-python will be migrated there in 1-3 weeks.
