Dependency Issues on my Ubunutu 22.04 with conda: chardet, idna, requests,

[peddanet]

On my ubunntu system 22.04 with python installed:

$ sudo update-alternatives --config python
[..]
There are 2 choices for the alternative python (providing /usr/local/bin/python).

  Selection    Path                 Priority   Status
------------------------------------------------------------
  0            /usr/bin/python3.7    2         auto mode
* 1            /usr/bin/python3.10   1         manual mode
  2            /usr/bin/python3.7    2         manual mode

Press <enter> to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number: 

I was not able to install the ./start.sh script. After some debugging, I found out that conda was lacking the package "chardef". However, when I tried to simply install it by first running (the probably unnecessary) commands:

$ micromamba activate /home/pwein/Downloads/easy-diffusion/installer_files/env
$ eval "$(micromamba shell hook --shell bash)" # as proposed after the first call because a parent process was working, that is why I assume this was potentially unnecessary

After that I try to resolve the dependency issuesin that macromamba environment (or whatever it is):

$ micromamba run -p /home/pwein/Downloads/easy-diffusion/installer_files/env pip3 install chardet

ERROR: pip's dependency resolver does not currently take into account all the packages that are installed. This behaviour is the source of the following dependency conflicts.
requests 2.25.1 requires chardet<5,>=3.0.2, but you have chardet 5.2.0 which is incompatible.

conda 23.9.0 requires requests<3,>=2.27.0, but you have requests 2.25.1 which is incompatible.

I had to specifically resolve those conflicts by

After that I could proceed with the setup procedure flawlessly:

$ ./start.sh

On my other Ubuntu 22.04 laptop it runs flawlessly through. Whysoever! This bug issue is just to show a way of resolving these depenedencies, cause I am not so an "expert python programmer". Hope it might help.

Honestly I have only a vague idea why I had run into these issues:

• computer was updated from Ubuntu 20.04 to 22.04
• maybe I made a mistake when setting up python3.7 and 3.10 and/or their virtualenvs
