Integration: Adding HACS to HA fails

[dkagedal]

Version of HACS

0.20.4

Describe the bug

I followed the installation instructions, and have a ´/config/custom_components/hacs`that looks like:

.                        configuration_schema.py  helpers                  services.yaml
..                       const.py                 http.py                  setup.py
.translations            constrains.py            manifest.json            store.py
__init__.py              hacsbase                 repositories             ws_api_handlers.py
config_flow.py           handler                  sensor.py

I restarted HA and cleared the browser cache. I click the "add an integration" button and select HACS. Then the UI spins for a long time and eventually I get thrown back to the integration selection box.

Debug log

The HA log shows this:

Make sure you have read the issue guidelines and that you filled out the entire template.

A simple touch .pip_progress worked as a workaround, but it shouldn't be needed.

Restart HA and try again.
This is out of control for HACS.

Problem still present in latest versions. Maybe update the installation instructions with this tip?
