Should this issue be kept open or closed?

FYI this Internet-in-a-Box PR is now merged:

• PR BUGFIX - lokole - pin python3 package versions to support older flask package iiab/iiab#3149

[jvonau]

open, the requirements file needs updating

Is this problem fixed? The Lokole can now install on IIAB now?
I have found a freelancer who wants to talk to me today to negotiate about working on this error.
@jvonau What can you tell me? By the way, I am running iiab full install now with Raspios64bits and started 15 minutes ago.

[jvonau]

Not fixed here, just have a workaround in place within IIAB.

[nzola]

@jvonau thanks for the clarifications. Should I put you in contact with whoever I would find to help correct the problem?
By the way, iiba full big install has just completed without problems. I have published the iiab-diagnostics of my install.

Just point out the above link to the fix in IIAB, your recruit should know what to do, or find somebody else. Other Ref: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71618764/why-flask-cli-suddenly-throws-import-error-when-3-commit-before-worked-fine-no

Thanks @jvonau

Thanks again to @jvonau who provided this interim patch/workaround below (within IIAB) until Lokole fixes its own requirements.txt !

@nzola I hope this is resolved quickly in coming days!

In any case. I've posted a 2-sentence public advisory to help newcomers — summarizing the situation in the "Known Issues" section at the bottom here:

@mabuelhagag and @nzola can this ticket be closed now?

Context: About a year ago I was told that Lokole needed to update its own requirements.txt file, as this was obliging IIAB implementers to install Lokole twice as a temporary workaround — as detailed at iiab/iiab#2833 (comment) and mentioned on PR iiab/iiab#3149.

Thanks for clarifying!

[nzola]

To my side, I confirm the Lokole thru IIAB install is smooth and I am satisfied. I recommand this issue be closed, unless otherwise.
Thanks
