ERROR: Cannot uninstall 'llvmlite'.

[ethem-kinginthenorth]

I have the following line in my docker file:
RUN pip install nemo_toolkit[all]
When I build the docker file, it errors out while trying to uninstall llvmlight with the following message
Attempting uninstall: llvmlite Found existing installation: llvmlite 0.32.0 ERROR: Cannot uninstall 'llvmlite'. It is a distutils installed project and thus we cannot accurately determine which files belong to it which would lead to only a partial uninstall.

I also have a question about why it is uninstalling a number of python packages and then re-install it?

[ethem-kinginthenorth]

I figured it out and sharing it out for reference:
I needed to add
RUN pip install llvmlite --ignore installed before
RUN pip install nemo_toolkit[all]

and seems like it is some sort of dependency to nemo that would be why it is uninstalling / installing

seems to require --ignore-installed with a hyphen. Same problem w/ NeMo.

hmm...
for numba v0.54 you need to have:

pip install llvmlite==0.37.0rc2 --ignore-installed

at least it works for me

I would really suggest using conda for Numba. conda install -c conda-forge numba==0.54.0

Is it works with newer version of llvmlite...? Honestly, it looks ilttle buggy )

pip install llvmlite --ignore-installed
