General Questions • Re: [Software] Got error with pdfposter

$

The bug report mentions uploading a new version, but describes it as "unstable." Do I need to add unstable sources to update the package? If so, how?
I tried to reinstall it on the pdfposter page with

Code:

pip install pdfposter
.
Unfortunately, I got this error message:

Code:

rainer@Optiplex:~$ pip install pdfpostererror: externally-managed-environment× This environment is externally managed╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try apt install    python3-xyz, where xyz is the package you are trying to    install.        If you wish to install a non-Debian-packaged Python package,    create a virtual environment using python3 -m venv path/to/venv.    Then use path/to/venv/bin/python and path/to/venv/bin/pip. Make    sure you have python3-full installed.        If you wish to install a non-Debian packaged Python application,    it may be easiest to use pipx install xyz, which will manage a    virtual environment for you. Make sure you have pipx installed.        See /usr/share/doc/python3.13/README.venv for more information.note: If you believe this is a mistake, please contact your Python installation or OS distribution provider. You can override this, at the risk of breaking your Python installation or OS, by passing --break-system-packages.hint: See PEP 668 for the detailed specification.rainer@Optiplex:~$ 
When I installed an app in Linux Mint with pip in the past, I didn't get such message. Here this all seems unnecessarily complicated to me. Fortunately, I haven't had similar other problems in Debian 13 so far. As long as it remains an isolated case, I'm happy.
