i'm seeing the following error while trying to set up a venv for automation via azure pipelines (ubuntu-latest):

these errors only show up for pulumi-* packages - any insights please?

do you have the

wheel

package in your dependencies? can you try installing it and rerun?

don't have it in there explicitly. works on my local (macos 11.4, python 3.9.6 via homebrew) without this error. i've tried the following before invoking my automation program without success: •

sudo apt install python3-wheel

# says already up to date •

python3 -m pip install wheel

with and without

--upgrade

, and with and without

uninstall

before

install

• ^ same things for

setuptools

• ^

python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip

before all of these • ... and mostly everything else i could find on stackoverflow that seemed relevant

what OS/arch are you using? in your runner?

ubuntu-latest seems to map to ubuntu 20.04 with python 3.8

and it's amd64?

uname -a

: Linux fv-az95-401 5.8.0-1036-azure #38~20.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jun 17 14:14:18 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

i'm completely stumped, this works flawless most of the time 😞 it does look like the wheel package isn't installed correctly though
