Dependency Errors upgrading to Rails 6

Question

I remove my Gemfile.lock, change my gem 'rails', '5.2' to gem 'rails', '6.0' and do bundle install.

I get a lot of dependency errors. But I cannot understand them because they seem okay.

I was getting errors like this:

Bundler could not find compatible versions for gem "pry":
  In Gemfile:
    guard-rspec (~> 4.7.0) was resolved to 4.7.3, which depends on
      guard (~> 2.1) was resolved to 2.16.2, which depends on
        pry (>= 0.9.12)

    pry-doc was resolved to 1.1.0, which depends on
      pry (~> 0.11)

    pry-nav was resolved to 0.3.0, which depends on
      pry (>= 0.9.10, < 0.13.0)

    pry-rails was resolved to 0.3.9, which depends on
      pry (>= 0.10.4)

and a lot more.. seems in the above that the dependencies should be fine, i.e. 0.11 for pry-doc is greater than all the others and they all specify greater than or equal.

Turns out specifying the exact latest version of rails fixed the problem.

originally in my Gemfile I had:

gem 'rails', '6.0'

but when I did

gem 'rails', '6.0.3.6'

and bundle install, I got no such dependency errors
