"Unable to locate package" error with packages.txt

Hi,

An app whose repository includes packages.txt fails to deploy on Sharing.
I think this error occurs probabilistically; I was just once successful to deploy the app, but failed many times.

The followings are my app resources I was trying to deploy.
Repo: GitHub - whitphx/style-transfer-web-app
Sharing: https://share.streamlit.io/whitphx/style-transfer-web-app/main/app.py

Do you need the stuff in packages.txt? If not then simply delete it.

Thank you, ah in this case that’s right :smiley: I kept that file from the forked source without thinking :face_vomiting:

However I think it’s still a bug because pacakages.txt is an officially announced option and the specified packages were same as the ones in the official sample repo…
