I feel you. I spent three full days trying to deploy my project on HF.
They told me to remove the proxy parameter — the one I never even used.
I checked thousands of lines, rebuilt the Space countless times, nothing worked.
In the end, it was a dependency version conflict. Removing all version numbers fixed it.
I thought I won… until the build broke again.
Why? HF was missing wheel. Yes — wheel, the most basic pip package.
Turned out: 503 error. Internal update. No notice.
Then I found out the real issue: pysrt was broken.
So yeah, you’re not alone. HF nearly broke me too.
I just wanted to launch a demo, not go on a spiritual debugging journey.
Still recovering.
Thanks for sharing — made me feel a little less crazy.
