For the past two days, some of my Gradio spaces have been failing with localhost network errors, preventing restarts. This occurs because I install custom pip packages with dependencies via `requirements.txt`. While uploading the source package and dependencies directly resolves the issue, I’d prefer the `requirements.txt` method to work. I already filled all the required environment variables so it is not related to API key related errors.
Affected spaces (now working with source upload):

My pip packages:
- [Client Challenge](https://pypi.org/project/citrailmu/)

Is it fixed itself…?

I tried installing it from pip now, and it worked without any problems. Of course, it doesn’t actually work because I don’t have an API key…

I forgot to include that I already filled all the required environment variables.
