Yes, this is certainly not a long-time solution! But in case anyone bumps into this problem at least they would now how to get around it until a fix is available. Internally, I have created a new workaround channel to make it clearly visible that this is a… well… workaround 😃

[uilianries]

@malchera That’s a very ugly workaround, who had this idea!? 😝

If you want to use for an internal recipe/project, go ahead, I think it should be enough for this case. Indeed when I reported this bug, I tested against pip package and worked, so I confirmed that bug.
