Platformio-vscode-ide: Unable to update or install u8g2 library version 2.27.3

[wisegeeksrules]

I'm having issues trying to update u8g2 library to version 2.27.3. Trying to update gives me a PIO Core Call Error and this results in the library no longer appearing under Installed libraries.

The only workaround I have at the moment is to install the previous version of the library which is version 2.27.2

Below is the message I'm getting and the screenshot:

Libraries: Could not install library

I'm seeing this same behavior here.

edit: actually that's wrong - I can install no versions of this library that I've tested. Other libraries work as expected. My projects are now failing build as a result.

Looks like the only workaround now is to go to PlatformIO Libraries registry search for U8g2 and install version 2.27.1

Thanks @wisegeeksrules! Can confirm that 2.27.1 does in fact install.

I try install the version 2.27.1 and no works me.

I try install the version 2.27.1 and no works me.

I'm not sure what causes this, I was able to update to v2.28.1 after setting python 3.x as the default, before I had python 2.7 as the default.
A week later I could not update to the latest version available (v2.28.6) again, (sad). The only work around was to revert to v.2.28.1

The issue continues and now I can't install any version of the library, it's not working.

@ivankravets After giving up, I switched off my machine and 3 days later I tried to install the library starting with u8g2 version 2.28.1 and it worked. then I decided to update to v2.28.6 and it worked again. I'm happy it worked this time.
