Updating Paperless ( -> v2.14.7) fails

[z400MB]

Hi :-)
I hope this is the right place to ask.

i am trying to update paperless to version 2.14.7. When i use the update command, this error occurs:

Stopped all Paperless-ngx Services

Updating to v2.14.7

[ERROR] in line 93: exit code 0: while executing command pip install -r requirements.txt &> /dev/null

When i use this command without the /dev/null part, i see this error:

root@paperless-ngx:~# pip install -r requirements.txt

[notice] A new release of pip is available: 24.3.1 -> 25.0.1
[notice] To update, run: python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
error: 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/python3.11/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.

Can someone pls give me a hint, what i have to do now, without wrecking the system?
Any help would be gladly accepted :-)

Thanks in advance

Search in discussion python3 and you see the Solution.

Thx for pointing me to the right direction @MickLesk.

For all other guys, looking for an answer:
Get in your paperless-shell and do this:

apt-get install -y python3 python3-dev python3-pip python3-venv
rm -rf /usr/lib/python3.*/EXTERNALLY-MANAGED

After that, the paperless update worked like it should:

 ✓ Stopped all Paperless-ngx Services
 ✓ Updated to v2.14.7
 ✓ Cleaned
 ✓ Started all Paperless-ngx Services
 ✓ Updated Successfully!
