ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement fairseq==0.10.2
ERROR: No matching distribution found for fairseq==0.10.2

Seems to be due to this line

still getting this buggo with python 3.9.9 (pip 22.1) on Void Linux for fairseq versions 0.10.1 and 0.10.2, but was able to run pip install fairseq==0.10.0

[krassowski]

pip 21.3.1 did not work for me the only thing it did differently was it persevered when installing 0.10.2 and 0.10.1 failed and ended up successfully installing 0.10.0.
