Describe the problem

The current protobuf dependencies are constrainted to protobuf < 5. However, many newer packages like opentelemetry are using > 5.0. This causes an unresolvable conflict.

Complete Logs

Because no versions of opentelemetry-exporter-otlp-proto-http match >1.28.2,<1.29.0 || >1.29.0,<2
 and opentelemetry-exporter-otlp-proto-http (1.28.2) depends on opentelemetry-proto (1.28.2), opentelemetry-exporter-otlp-proto-http (>=1.28.2,<1.29.0 || >1.29.0,<2) requires opentelemetry-proto (1.28.2).
    And because opentelemetry-proto (1.28.2) depends on protobuf (>=5.0,<6.0), opentelemetry-exporter-otlp-proto-http (>=1.28.2,<1.29.0 || >1.29.0,<2) requires protobuf (>=5.0,<6.0).
    And because opentelemetry-exporter-otlp-proto-http (1.29.0) depends on opentelemetry-proto (1.29.0)
 and opentelemetry-proto (1.29.0) depends on protobuf (>=5.0,<6.0), opentelemetry-exporter-otlp-proto-http (>=1.28.2,<2) requires protobuf (>=5.0,<6.0).
    Because no versions of dagster-cloud match >1.9.6,<2.0.0
 and dagster-cloud (1.9.6) depends on opentelemetry-exporter-otlp-proto-http (>=1.28.2,<2), dagster-cloud (>=1.9.6,<2.0.0) requires opentelemetry-exporter-otlp-proto-http (>=1.28.2,<2).
(1) Thus, dagster-cloud (>=1.9.6,<2.0.0) requires protobuf (>=5.0,<6.0).

    Because mediapipe (0.10.20) depends on protobuf (>=4.25.3,<5)
 and no versions of mediapipe match >0.10.18,<0.10.20 || >0.10.20,<0.11.0, mediapipe (>0.10.18,<0.11.0) requires protobuf (>=4.25.3,<5).
    And because mediapipe (0.10.18) depends on protobuf (>=4.25.3,<5), mediapipe (>=0.10.18,<0.11.0) requires protobuf (>=4.25.3,<5).
    And because dagster-cloud (>=1.9.6,<2.0.0) requires protobuf (>=5.0,<6.0) (1), dagster-cloud (>=1.9.6,<2.0.0) is incompatible with mediapipe (>=0.10.18,<0.11.0)
    So, because rep-counter depends on both mediapipe (^0.10.18) and dagster-cloud (^1.9.6), version solving failed.

Hi @tday,

It appears that the versions of Mediapipe (0.10.20) and OpenTelemetry you are trying to install have conflicting dependencies due to different protobuf versions. This may be causing the issues you are encountering. Please allow us some time to consult with our team about the possibility of upgrading the protobuf version or identifying any potential workarounds.

Thank you!!

Thanks, @kuaashish. FWIW, I tested mediapipe 0.10.20 + protobuf 5.29.2 for my use case. It worked without any issues.
