Description

When I am trying to setup securedrop-admin in Tails 4.5 fresh, the latest setuptools breaks MarkupSafe installation in the virtual environment.

Steps to Reproduce

• Fresh Tails 4.5, run ./securedrop-admin setup

Expected Behavior

It should install all dependencies properly.

Comments

There is already an upstream bug pypa/setuptools#2017. If I manually downgrade the version of setuptools to 45.3.0, everything works smooth.

Those dependencies seem out of date, see latest develop where we're using Markupsafe==1.1.1: https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop/blob/develop/admin/requirements.txt#L63 - is this on an older branch?

[kushaldas]

I was installing from 1.2.0 branch for a fresh install.

[redshiftzero]

This seems like issue #5155, can you try on 1.2.2? (should be resolved there)

Closing as the issue was in my side.

Kushal - if you have time, always good to document what went wrong, for future generations of issue archaeologists. :)
