comment from the packager :thinking:

I saw that comment from the packager and it does not make sense to me as I have updated dependencies

According to the packager you seem to have a mix of system and locally installed python packages from outside the official repositories.

This may be the reason why you have issue with installing this new one.

I somehow had some locally installed python packages (installed via pip install package –user). Removing them solved the issue.

Thank you all for your feedback
