installing package with ~= leads to installing the latest version of that package

[EiJayK]

Issue description

pipenv install "tensorflow~=2.9" leads to the installation of the latest version of tensorflow which is 2.11.x I would expect that it would not update the major version

Expected result

a version of tensorflow equal to 2.9.3 (for example)

Actual result

tensorflow 2.11.x

Steps to replicate

python 3.7
run on cli
pipenv install "tensorflow~=2.9"

I think this is expected, -- the tilde-equals operator takes the least most significant specified value, in this case .9 and makes it flexible. If you wanted to restrict further you could do pipenv install "tensorflow~=2.9.3" which would upgrade to anything in 2.9 (making the .3 flexible).

Ok, thanks I will try this

I would suggest to adjust the documentation a bit as it can be a little bit misleading

"""
For example, to install requests you can use:

$ pipenv install requests~=1.2
Pipenv will install version 1.2 and any minor update, but not 2.0.
