[aenima-x]

uninstall Flask-Babel and Flask-BabelEx
Those are no longer dependencies

[Immucrepal]

Trying sudo apt-get purge --auto-remove python-flask-babel
Nothing changed. I still have the same issue.
Is there something else to do for uninstalling those packages ?

[aenima-x]

@fsxchen they are python packages.
Use pip

[Immucrepal]

I've uninstalled these packages. pip list doesn't give them.
I then uninstall Babel python module. Then I got the same issue.

I've got this error log :

I've reinstalled Faraday with the last release on a Kali linux and I got the same errors :
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/flask/app.py", line 2447, in wsgi_app
response = self.full_dispatch_request()

File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/flask_security/core.py", line 1155, in check_babel
raise ValueError(

I desinstalled Babel python package with the command below :
python3 -m pip uninstall Babel

After restarting the server, I got the same error.

Very wierd !

[aenima-x]

@fsxchen did you notice that faraday is not in that list??
you have a problem with your envirement.
The python environment that is running faraday is not the same of that pip

@fsxchen Ok now this makes more sense.
But still there is not Babel, I dont know that to tell you.
That is a known problem when some of those packages are found.

I suggest you to install it from the github repo, not the kali version

[s0i37]

Just comment this check in /usr/local/lib/python3.9/dist-packages/flask_security/core.py:

if have_babel() and "babel" not in app.extensions and 0:

And all should be fine.

[thedigitalempress]

Now I followed this thread and uninstalled flask and babel and now i'm getting this error when running the server:

File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/flask_login/login_manager.py", line 12, in
from flask import (_request_ctx_stack, abort, current_app, flash, redirect,
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'flask'

And I keep getting this error when running the client:
2021-08-17T09:55:44-0400 - faraday_client.start_client - ERROR {MainThread} [start_client.py:369 - login()] Faraday server returned invalid response: 500

[ezk06eer]

@thedigitalempress you should do:
pip install flask
comment this check in
/usr/local/lib/python3.9/dist-packages/flask_security/core.py:

if have_babel() and "babel" not in app.extensions and 0:

this is not estrictly inherited from our code but from flask_security itself in the kali version.

Thanks.
