micropip.freeze() fails when deps=False

[mscolnick]

Repro code:

import micropip
await micropip.install(["marimo-base"], deps=False)
micropip.freeze()

Hi @mscolnick, thanks for the report!! I think this is the same issue as #180, as the installation failed when the deps argument was set to False, and no metadata was found for the package as it wasn't installed. This should be fixed with #187 (I double-checked in a CI environment via #196), which has been released with version 0.9.0 today.

I'm trying to update micropip to the new version in Pyodide via pyodide/pyodide#5404.

Please let me know in case any other problems arise when micropip 0.9 is available. I'll mark this issue as closed for now. :)
