Can't install pip3 package with 6.11.5, worked before

[gekoch]

I did just update from 6.11.1 to 6.11.5.

Ihave a few pip packages running so that the scripts I use can work properly.

 

In 6.11.1 the paho-mqtt worked flawless.

Now when i try to install it via pip3 install paho-mqtt I get this error:

wget -P /boot/extra/ https://slackware.uk/slackware/slackware64-15.0/slackware64/l/libffi-3.3-x86_64-3.txz

installpkg /boot/extra/libffi-3.3-x86_64-3.txz
