error reading bcrypt version

[sleepy-nols]

when installing the latest version on debian bookworm via the .deb package I get the following error when trying to login with a user.

This appears to be an upstream error in the passlib library: https://foss.heptapod.net/python-libs/passlib/-/issues/190

Though it appears that this is just an informative error message rather than an actual error which prevents logins from working properly.

At least in our development and production setups we did not have any issues so far when using the debian package.

Same problem here. Is there any workaround allowing login ?

[mikonse]

Is this still an issue with the most recent release v1.2 on a debian bookworm?

We are also seeing the error in our deployment but it does not seem to impact the actual login.
