tests are busted due to something with setuptools and ruamel.yaml

[beckermr]

IDK why, but the tests for conda skeleton are now breaking due to the removal of safe_dump in ruamel.yaml >=0.18.0.

see https://github.com/conda/conda-build/actions/runs/11484656642/job/31962986476

I'm seeing the same thing in my own builds:

I can't find the source of this code anywhere, so I have to assume conda-build/skeleton is doing some kind of patching.

Going to go look for a workaround (probably pinning ruamel somehow), but if this is coming from a patch then it'd be great to get it fixed upstream (wherever that is).

I think the issue is that some of the recipes in the tests need ruamel.yaml pinned.

NVM. I think I found it here: #5517
