Current Behaviour?

tensorflow 2.9.1 requires protobuf<3.20,>=3.9.2, but you have protobuf 4.21.2 which is incompatible.

Tensorflow should update this requirement!

Standalone code to reproduce the issue

pip install <packages>

Relevant log output

tensorflow 2.9.1 requires protobuf<3.20,>=3.9.2, but you have protobuf 4.21.2 which is incompatible.

For future: please use descriptive titles.

Regarding this issue: there is a big ABI/API breakage with protobuf 4 and TF cannot upgrade due to segfaults in Windows caused by ODR violations. @learning-to-play is working on cc_shared_library support and migration past these to then upgrade protobuf

@celestinoxp,

tensorflow 2.9.1 requires protobuf<3.20,>=3.9.2, but you have protobuf 4.21.2 which is incompatible.

Protobuf 4.0 is incompatible with TF. For more details please take a look at #56815 (comment) by @mihaimaruseac.

Thank you.
