Tried deploying a new space ([link](https://huggingface.co/spaces/cswamy/english_to_french_translator)). Getting a FileNotFoundError for README.md.

Please update the requirements.txt to use the latest Gradio version

```auto

hi @KawaiiApp  
It looks like a Gradio issue, please use the latest version `gradio==3.44.3`

Check your readme file and make sure Gradio sdk version (if listed) is updated.

adding `gradio==3.44.3` or `gradio==3.44.1` in requirement.txt doesn’t work. I looked at the build logs

```auto

The error occurs in the last RUN command while installing gradio[oauth]==3.6 spaces==0.16.0

Hi @Styldod ! Make sure the version in the README matches the version in requirements.txt. That way it won’t get overridden
