Installation Methode 3 Debian Bookworm Installing dependencies using pip gives error

[pilorain]

As I did before when my Pi3 B+ was under Debian Bulleseye I would like to add smartmeter-datacollector to Home Assistant.
I forgot to check the Bullseye requirement before upgrading my Pi.
Now I have Debian Bookworm with Home Assistant installed and running successfully.
The command sudo apt install ./python3-smartmeter-datacollector_1.2.1-1_armhf.deb gives errors, see Bookworm_install_errror.txt
Does anyone have a workaround solution or shall I go back to Bullseye ?
Thanks for help and regards, Pierre

You're right, the current deb packages are built for bullseye. However, your log shows some issues concerning the pip Python package install - unfortunately not the exact problem...

Installing dependencies using pip..dpkg: erreur de traitement du paquet python3-smartmeter-datacollector (--configure) :
 le sous-processus paquet python3-smartmeter-datacollector script post-installation installé a renvoyé un état de sortie d'erreur 1

I try to provide a new release soon with updated OS support.

In the meantime you might succeed when choosing the installation method directly working with pip and the Python package smartmeter-datacollector. However then, you then need to find a solution for the service starting upon boot-up (see systemd service File (change the username)) or write a DockerFile.

Sorry for not investigate further on this E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1).

Don't worry, I'll check that when creating a new release.

The next day I started the whole installation again under Bullseye. That's when I discovered my big GPIO connection error see #60 (comment).

Now everything works perfectly: the LG-E450 meter integrated into Home Assistant.

Many thanks for this open source software. Pierre
