We've seen something like this a few times (#223, #255). It seems that certain environment's don't properly install dependencies: home-assistant/core#127966

You can try clearing your /config/deps, or you can try a number of the workarounds presented in home-assistant/core#127966.

This was resolved in the above community thread.

In summary, both users had older versions of msmart-ng in their /config/deps directory, The recommended resolution was to remove all the contents of /config/deps as it is generally deprecated.

@dj21d Left specific instructions on removing the directory via the SSH Add-on here:

https://community.home-assistant.io/t/custom-integration-requirements-failing-to-update/772204/23?u=mill1000

I wasn't able to replicate this issue with a fresh Docker container "install".

seems to be a problem with HA running in a container

[mill1000]

Like I said I wasn't able to reproduce with a fresh container and config directory, so perhaps it's caused by something when upgrading.

Did you try clearing /config/deps?

[Hubert2208]

yep, i tried to delete /config/deps.
HA recreates the folder on Restart with same files inside, like before

[Hubert2208]

I found now a solution for the problem.
The Folder /config/deps/lib/python3.12/ have to be moved to /config/deps/lib/python3.13/
The new Version auf HA has bumped Python to Version 3.13
I also had an old folder /config/deps/lib/python3.11/. This one i deleted.

[mill1000]

What's odd is I was under the impression /config/deps was deprecated
