A few days ago I updated pip to version 22.3 and today, when executing pip list --outdated --format=freeze, received an error:

ERROR: List format 'freeze' can not be used with the --outdated option.

Already wanted to open an issue, but then I found this page. At least now I know it was done on purpose.

Suggestion

It would be really nice if you update the related documentation both online and for the pip command help info (pip list --help) to reflect these latest changes.

Currently the documentation still mentions freeze as a possible value for the --format option. All those previous years this combination worked (I use it in a shell script) and now it doesn't. So mentioning this moment in the documentation will really help to avoid confusion etc.

P.S.

Maybe using "cannot" in the above mentioned error message would be more appropriate (sorry, couldn't help mentioning that 😄).

pip list --outdated --format=freeze does not return the right version of the outdated packages.
