      hint: This usually indicates a problem with the package or the build environment.
  help: `pypika` (v0.48.9) was included because `a2a-samples-image-gen` (v0.1.0) depends on `crewai>=0.95.0` (v0.95.0)
        which depends on `chromadb>=1.1.0, <1.2.dev0` (v1.1.1) which depends on `pypika>=0.48.9`

I am also encountered this issue.
It worked when I changed version to Python 3.13.9 and try uv cache clean && uv sync

Hope it helps : )
