You could do it this way if you want to use awk

pip download $PACKAGE -d /tmp --no-binary :all: | awk '/Collecting/ && $2 !~ /'${PACKAGE}'([~=!<>]|$)/ { print $2 }'

Oh interesting.

I've switched to using this now

I particularly like the json output since I'm a big fan of https://stedolan.github.io/jq/
