When trying to authenticate with Howdy through PAM I get this error in the auth.log:

2024-05-01T15:20:38.402372+03:00 <host> /lib/security/howdy/pam.py[34365]: Traceback (most recent call last):

However that module is already installed:

# pip3 install configparser --break-system-packages
WARNING: Skipping /usr/lib/python3.12/dist-packages/argcomplete-3.1.4.dist-info due to invalid metadata entry 'name'
Requirement already satisfied: configparser in /usr/local/lib/python3.12/dist-packages (7.0.0)

I've searched for similar issues already, and my issue has not been reported yet.

Linux distribution (if applicable): Ubuntu 24.04

Howdy version (sudo howdy version): 2.6.1
