🖼️ Additional context (optional).

I did verify that all host packages are up to date including pve-container (6.0.13).

I was able to get it to work by:

1. manually running the failed command with an ignore installed flag in the container it created
   pip install -r requirements_prod.txt --ignore-installed

2. followed by exeucting the install portion of the script by running inside the container.
   bash -c "$(curl -fsSl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/main/install/wger-install.sh)"

Maybe that flag needs to be added to the script?

I've the same error. I tried to run pip install with --ignore-installed but when I run:
bash -c "$(curl -fsSl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/main/install/wger-install.sh)"
I get many errors (msg_ok: command not found, sed: can't read /home/wger/src/settings.py: No such file or directory
bash: line 50: wger: command not found) and than on apache I've this error:

Python home /home/wger is not accessible. Python interpreter may not be able to be initialized correctly. Verify the supplied path and access permissions on the directory.
