Hey All,
Hoping someone can help me here. I’ve been running Home Assistant for a number of years, using a basic python install (pip3 install homeassistant) on Ubuntu 20.04 and have just recently found I can no longer start the service. Version of Home Assistant is 2021.12.10, which is the latest version supported by the version of Python that ships with Ubuntu 20.04.
When I attempt to start HASS using /usr/local/bin/hass -c /opt/hass --open-ui I get the following:
2023-02-18 11:53:28 ERROR (MainThread) [root] Uncaught exception

ValueError: not enough values to unpack (expected 1, got 0)
It appears to be complaining about the version that is installed, which it identifies as 0.23ubuntu1. Is there any recourse to recover here, or am I going to be stuck building a new server and trying to migrate my configs over to it?
