This is an issue with the latest version 3.0.0 of the PIP package werkzeug. The previous version 2.3.7 still works. I will soon release a new version fixing werkzeug to that particular version.

Meanwhile a quick fix:

• open a root shell
• su - little-brother
• /var/lib/little-brother/virtualenv/bin/pip install werkzeug==2.3.7
• leave su with e.g. CTRL-D
• systemctl restart little-brother

Please, let me know of this works. Thanks!

Cool.

Looks like simple solution for python expert.

Thanks

Hi, for me it does not work. I installed it on Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS:

sudo dpkg -i little-brother_0.4.30_137.deb

Than I got the error: Okt 06 12:16:18 bonb run_little_brother.py[28057]: ImportError: cannot import name 'url_decode' from 'werkzeug.urls' (/var/lib/little-brother/virtualenv/lib/python3.8/site-packages/werkzeug/urls.py)

Than I tried the fix:

As you see pip install does abort...

I (hopefully) fixed this issue by explicitly setting the minor release versions of all packages, in particular werkzeug to version 2.3.*.
