Hi,
I’m getting a reproducible install failure when adding sd-webui-deoldify to both AUTOMATIC1111 v1.9.3 and Stable Diffusion Forge v2.5.
The extension crashes during install.py with the following traceback:
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:
/home/user/miniconda3/envs/deoldify/lib/python3.10/site-packages/numpy-1.26.2.dist-info/METADATA
The full log shows multiple pkg_resources AttributeError / FileNotFoundError lines, ending in the missing METADATA for NumPy.
What I tested
Python 3.10 (Conda envs on Ubuntu 24.04)
Torch 2.0.1 + cu118 / Torch 2.3.1 + cu121
NumPy 1.26.4
xformers 0.0.19–0.0.27
Tried under both A1111 and Forge (fresh installs, clean envs)
What happens
The extension’s install.py script uses pkg_resources.require() to verify dependencies.
If any installed package’s .dist-info folder is missing or incomplete (common with modern pip / conda builds), pkg_resources raises FileNotFoundError, aborting the install.
Suggestion
Consider replacing pkg_resources checks with modern importlib.metadata (Python 3.8+) or simply relying on requirements.txt to avoid this crash on newer environments.
Thanks — aside from this issue, DeOldify works great once installed manually.
