I hit the same issue. Makesure to give version of the chapter 7 a try. However this also fails for me. But I was able to work around it:

1. Uncomment git clone part of the first cell only and execute it.
2. Change the version of farm-haystack[colab] from 1.4.0 to 1.20.1 in the requirements-chapter7-v2.txt
3. Comment the git clone part again and uncomment the other lines
4. Execute the first cell
   Installation should succeed.

I did also submit the changes as PR: #122 So you can also try the fixed version out here if you want: https://github.com/1Maxnet1/notebooks-1/tree/patch-2
