Based on https://django.fun/en/qa/430090/

this error is a bug that occur only with python 3.7 (the same version you're using) because the latest release of importlib-metadata .

just downgrade importlib-metadata<5.0 : pip install importlib-metadata==4.13.0

[vince7lf]

testing on arbutus and local virtualbox

[vince7lf]

on arbutus, it takes very vey long long for the step Executing transaction: ...working... done

Preparing transaction: ...working... done
Verifying transaction: ...working... done
Executing transaction: ...working... done

[vince7lf]

fixed adding importlib-metadata==4.13.0 into docker/requirements.txt
