"Label '//tools/build_defs/js/jspb_proto_library:rules.bzl' is invalid because 'tools/build_defs/js/jspb_proto_library' is not a package;" when building ImageSearcher

[bperel]

After I downloaded the tflite file as instructed in the instructions for ImageSearcher, and git cloned the tflite-support repository in the same directory, I ran the command and got the following error:

I see some warnings about missing files to download but I'm not sure if that's related to the error at the end.

System: Ubuntu 22.04.2 Bazel version: 5.1.1

Let me know if I can provide more system information.

Thanks for flagging this issue. We're looking into a fix now.

Do you have any update for this yet ? @lu-wang-g
