I installed the open opentimestamps-client on Debain BullsEye some months ago using:

I also checked the OpenTimestamps client version to check that it is properly installed
$ ots --version v0.7.1
An everything seemed to work fine and I used it many times to verify more timestamps, when installing additional programs (e.g. LND) and when updating existing programs to a newer version.
Since then I've upgraded to Debian Bookworm and when trying to use the OpenTimestamps client I get the following error:
ots --version Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/ots", line 5, in <module> from otsclient.ots import main ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'otsclient'
The directory /usr/local/bin contains the following files:
- ots
- ots-git-gpg-wrapper
After trying to reinstall it I get the following error:
$ sudo pip3 install opentimestamps-client error: externally-managed-environment × This environment is externally managed ╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try apt install python3-xyz, where xyz is the package you are trying to install. If you wish to install a non-Debian-packaged Python package, create a virtual environment using python3 -m venv path/to/venv. Then use path/to/venv/bin/python and path/to/venv/bin/pip. Make sure you have python3-full installed. If you wish to install a non-Debian packaged Python application, it may be easiest to use pipx install xyz, which will manage a virtual environment for you. Make sure you have pipx installed. See /usr/share/doc/python3.11/README.venv for more information. note: If you believe this is a mistake, please contact your Python installation or OS distribution provider. You can override this, at the risk of breaking your Python installation or OS, by passing --break-system-packages. hint: See PEP 668 for the detailed specification.
If I understand correctly Debian Bookworm removed the ability to install system-wide python packages with pip; you are supposed to only use virtual environment schemes, or Debian packages. I'd suggest you try following the above suggestions as the opentimestamps-client isn't currently packaged for Debian.
There is an open request to package it officially. But there hasn't been any progress in a few years: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=921251

Unfortunately I'm a Unix beginner and some help would be appreciated very much
Many thanks in advance and have a very nice day!
