Nova 4.26 => 4.35 update problem: nova-kit/nova-packages-tool

Hello,

I'm trying to update Nova from 4.26.5 to the latest ^4.0 release (4.35.10 currently).

Trying this:

composer update laravel/nova

...does nothing, specifically:

"Nothing to install, update or remove"

In composer.json, I have the standard: "laravel/nova": "^4.0"

Just learned about 'composer why-not', so I tried that:

composer why-not laravel/nova 4.35.10

which gives:

nova-kit/nova-packages-tool v1.11.2 requires laravel/nova (>=4.26.5 <4.27.0)

Now nova-kit/nova-packages-tool is not in composer.json; appears to be a dependency for other packages.

When I try to update nova-kit/nova-packages-tool, it requires a later version of Nova:

composer why-not nova-kit/nova-packages-tool 1.17
nova-kit/nova-packages-tool v1.17.0  requires         laravel/nova (>=4.35.0 <4.36.0)

Now I seem to be stuck in a catch-22 where each package keeps the other from updating.

I've updated from Nova 3 > Nova 4 and to several Nova 4 minor versions before, but have never seen this problem.

No doubt it's something simple but at the moment I'm stumped. Any ideas?
