Hi @gison93
This is by design, pip will print in output the rationale behind it:

> pip install azure-storage==0.37.0
Collecting azure-storage==0.37.0

    Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:

    RuntimeError:

    Starting with v0.37.0, the 'azure-storage' meta-package is deprecated and cannot be installed anymore.
    Please install the service specific packages prefixed by `azure` needed for your application.

    The complete list of available packages can be found at:

    Here's a non-exhaustive list of common packages:

    - [azure-storage-blob](https://pypi.org/project/azure-storage-blob) : Blob storage client
    - [azure-storage-file-share](https://pypi.org/project/azure-storage-file-share) : Storage file share client

    ----------------------------------------
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in C:\Users\lmazuel\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-install-576sqseg\azure-storage\

If you do not wish to update to latest packages for now, you can stick azure-storage==0.36.0

Thanks!

Hi @lmazuel, thank you for the quick answer. My bad, I read that is deprecated but I missed "cannot be installed anymore".
Actually the issue arised because I had a job that installed azure-storage without specifying the version.
In the next days I will switch to the new specific package.

Thanks again!
