PIP conflicts ERROR: Error while checking for conflicts when installing packages with PIP

[varunTirupathi]

Description

Hi, I'm facing the below-mentioned conflicts error when I'm trying to install the python packages using PIP module.

WARNING: pip is being invoked by an old script wrapper. This will fail in a future version of pip.
Please see #5599 for advice on fixing the underlying issue.
To avoid this problem you can invoke Python with '-m pip' instead of running pip directly.
ERROR: Error while checking for conflicts. Please file an issue on pip's issue tracker: https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/new

run pip3 install --user -r /home/requirements.txt --use-deprecated=legacy-resolver'

Can this be reproduced using the standard resolver?

[varunTirupathi]

I have removed --use-deprecated=legacy-resolver' and ran the PIP it worked
