Cryptography failed to install - Upstream issue - Need changes to script

[f-9t9it]

Issue: Easy Install This is the second time I am getting this issue, First time we solved it with rustup from snap which was day before yesterday and now I am trying to install a new server and facing the exact same issue. First was local server and second is cloud server which is our regular vps.

Do the checklist before filing an issue:

• [X] Did you retain the logfile (path of logfile is shared while the script is run)? We definitely need the logfile to debug any easy install related issues.
• [ ] Is this something you can debug and fix? Send a pull request! Bug fixes and documentation fixes are welcome

Install script run at 21:02 on 2021-02-09

Solution: New cryptohraphy needs setuptools_rust instead of setuptools Install rustup using snap and then install cryptography as cryptography installation fails

sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev cargo
sudo apt install snapd
sudo snap install rustup --classic
sudo rustup default stable

Then continue the easy install script. This had worked the first time but this is just a work around, not an actual fix.

For those having this issue, you just need to upgrade pip as shown in the fix : pip3 install --upgrade pip

the above two solutions didn't worked for me , any breakthrough in this ?
