Unable to install due to ruamel.yaml error

I've tried to install on both Alpine and Debian, both x86_64, and on both I get the following error:

I've tried installing libyaml, etc., but it appears to have no effect. This is with an up-to-date pip3.

I get a very similiar error when I run sudo pip3 install trackerjacker:

I am on Arch.

[brownjohnf]

Interesting. I guess I should have clarified that I'm also on Arch, but running the install in a Docker container (tried Alpine and Debian). The container user is root, but it wasn't privileged. I figured I'd get it installed and then run it attached to the host network.

[deltaxflux]

Try workaround using pip3 install 'trackerjacker==1.8.0'

[TheT3ngu]

@deltaxflux Thanks, worked fine for me!

[calebmadrigal]

Fixed in version 1.8.8.

[tucked]

@calebmadrigal What was the fix?

[tucked]

Fix is #7
