A single rejection is common when installing a local wheel or a direct URL. The message is only accurate once a second candidate for that package has been rejected.
The first looking-at-multiple-versions message now fires on the 2nd rejection of a package. N=2 only rejects one candidate of A, so the message must be absent there.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I'm +1 on this, I don't think these messages are super useful, and the current first one does trigger unexpectedly, this will likely help.

What does this PR do?
Fixes #12928.
PipReportercurrently logs "pip is looking at multiple versions of {package}" on the first rejected candidate. Installing a local wheel or a direct URL only has that one candidate, so the message is wrong — pip is not looking at other versions of the package.Move that hint from reject-count 1 to 2. The later messages at 8 and 13 are unchanged.
Unit tests cover the first vs second rejection.
