If you run uv tool upgrade --python 3.12 open-webui[all] it will get solved. I was at v0.6.37 and having the same issue to jump to v0.6.40.

Looks like they've fixed it upstream (https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues/20188).

However, since we're on an old version what does that mean for us (pve script users). Are we stuck in this old version without manual intervention? Or should the update then "just work" once they release the fix to main?

Probably best to wait for a new release. I guess thats when they will merge the fix
