My environment will not build after upgrading

Problem

Environment build errors after Domino upgrade

New Dominobase plus customised local changes not working

Messages about importlib-metadata in the build log

Cause

Dependency change can result in setuptools and metadatalib to cause errors

Solution

Downgrade importlib-metadata and setuptools, install your packages and fixup setuptools later in your Dockerfile or set up a new Base and rebuild on top of 'fresh' DSE/DAD images.

Dockerfile solution for downgrading setuptools/metadata:

RUN pip install -U 'setuptools<=41'
RUN pip install importlib-metadata==4.12
RUN pip install 'jupyter_contrib_nbextensions<=0.5.1' 'jupyter_nbextensions_configurator<=0.4.1'


...

RUN pip install -U 'setuptools<60' # Can vary and some releases could require <56
