[Workaround] Unable to install remnux.python3-packages RECORD/METADATA file not found about salt-states HOT 6 OPEN

Updated issue name and description

Hi @seanthegeek , you should be able to fix this with the instructions below:

sudo touch /usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/protobuf-3.20.3.dist-info/METADATA
sudo touch /usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/protobuf-3.20.3.dist-info/RECORD
sudo touch /usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/typing_extensions-4.8.0.dist-info/METADATA
sudo touch /usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/typing_extensions-4.8.0.dist-info/RECORD
sudo touch /usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/olefile-0.46.dist-info/METADATA
sudo touch /usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/olefile-0.46.dist-info/RECORD

Once you do this, you can try the install process again and it should work. This seems to be a compatibility issue with pip, setuptools, and wheel that we've been fighting with for a while, but once past the initial issue (this one), everything should be fine in the future.

That worked. Thanks! I've updated the issue title and will leave it open so that others can find the workaround easily.

In case anyone is Googling I recently had to do this for the 4.3.1 release of yara-python.

sudo touch /usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/yara_python-4.3.1.dist-info/METADATA
sudo touch /usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/yara_python-4.3.1.dist-info/RECORD

@lennyzeltser Perhaps we can pin this issue until it's permanently resolved upstream?

Yes, great idea.
