Oh dear, this is weird.  Thanks for letting me know.

Please could you start spyder (acknowledging the missing-dependency
warning) and then do Help > Dependencies.  It will give you a list of
dependencies loaded which you can then copy to the clipboard; please
can you send the results to this bug report?  Please do the same with
Help > About Spyder...  These may give some clues.

The next thing we can try is running the following in the iPython
console within Spyder:

import sys
sys.executable
sys.path
import pylsp_black
sys.modules["pylsp_black"]

Please send the output to this report, as there may be some clues
there.

Best wishes,
