Hi @NotMorphus , you should be able to run the following and try again:

sudo touch /usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/pefile-2023.2.7.dist-info/{METADATA,RECORD}

With the version of pip that did the installation of pefile previously, there was an issue with the reading / creation of those two files (METADATA and RECORD), so they never got created, even though their presence is required for the removal / upgrade process.

This will create empty files and allow the upgrade process to continue.

Cheers!

Hi @NotMorphus , the previous issue is fixed, unfortunately now there's a new issue with pip. The installed version with saltstack (v23.3.2) previously enforced certain naming structures with packages for their versioning. This error is saying that one package has an invalid version number, and as such pip won't function properly.

Can you provide the output of the following command so we can attempt to find a solution:
sudo salt-call -V
