Hody not working as dlib can't be imported (similar but different from issue #978

[L-28]

sudo howdy test results in:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/howdy/cli.py", line 117, in <module>
    import cli.test
  File "/usr/lib/howdy/cli/test.py", line 10, in <module>
    import dlib
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'dlib'

While using howdy executing as part of sudo results in:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/howdy/compare.py", line 18, in <module>
    import dlib
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'dlib'
nknown error: 

and the following authentification options being used (in my case fingerprint then password)

sudo howdy snapshot works without issue

A reinstall of both howdy (using howdy-beta-git from the AUR) and dlib (using python-dlib-git from the AUR) doesn't resolve my issue)

---

A similar issue has been reported in #978 but it seems to differ from my issue in that in their issue howdy still works, while in mine howdy doesn't work.

Linux distribution (if applicable): Arch Linux with Gnome 47.2

Howdy version (sudo howdy version): Howdy 3.0.0 BETA

Fixed by yay -S --rebuildtree python-dlib in archlinux.
Edit: Remember clean the build

I'm sorry, please explain 'Clean the build'?

I used python-dlib-git instead of python-dlib, using python-dlib solves it

Thanks for all the replies but i believe this only fixes part of the issue. Howdy does indeed work as intended but only after showing this error:-

Exception ignored in: <_io.BufferedWriter name=4>
BrokenPipeError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe

To be fully fixed we need to clear/stop this error.
