I'm trying to find out why updating from 11.X to 12.X broke my custom integration. It require the following package : gtfs-realtime-bindings==1.0.0 but when trying to debug why the installation failed, I realized that HA use the following command : python3 -m pip install --quiet gtfs-realtime-bindings==1.0.0 --index-strategy unsafe-first-match --upgrade --constraint /usr/src/homeassistant/homeassistant/package_constraints.txt --target /config/deps so by using --quiet it's almost impossible to know why it fail. Running the command manually does work weirdly enough. I tried the following debug options : homeassistant.loader: debug homeassistant.setup: debug homeassistant.util.package: debug
#Custom integrations, how to debug dependencies installation

How are you running HA? HAOS? Docker? Podman? K8s? Something else?
robust cargo
Podman.
woven echo
Yeah, that's a known feature/bug/whatever
Podman isn't detected as a container, so you have to work around it
Let me see if I can find the link
The whole issue is a relevant read, as is https://community.home-assistant.io/t/wth-is-going-on-with-docker-container-installs-and-third-party-integrations-that-need-python-modules/806430
It's an "interesting" one where the official line is that any compliant container tech can be used, but HA only supports Docker...
robust cargo
Wow thank you
It’s interesting indeed docker vs OCI compliant.
Container used to be the best way to install HA. Damn time has passed.
woven echo
Container still is IMO, but for some reason recent changes broke detection for non-Docker containers
robust cargo
I think I read somewhere it is the passage to uv? Since 1024.10.X?
woven echo
Yeah
The issue originates from the introduction of uv as the package manager we now use for Python.

So basically all new installations of custom components will break. At least old ones the packages are already installed.
woven echo
Well, yes, but just apply the trivial workaround 😉
robust cargo
That explains the higher headache count I have since 2 months. 😅
At least I try to avoid as much as possible custom stuff.
Will try that indeed.
woven echo
I mean, it's a simple volume mount... not very "custom", but I get where you're coming from
robust cargo
Oh no I mean custom integrations requiring modules installation at runtime.
woven echo
Ah... I have quite a few, but I stopped worrying about that a long time ago

I joined the discord for this exact issue. I recently moved to podman + quadlet and custom integrations were reportting missing deps. I saw the packages in the deps folder and ended up manually installing the packages in the container. I hope this gets fixed.
