Description
My Howdy was working perfectly until a large update last night. Lots of Python and Camera type updates.
Now when i try and use Howdy i get the error :-
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/lib/security/howdy/compare.py", line 18, in
import dlib
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'dlib'
Restoring a Snapshot solves the issue until the next update is run
----
I've searched for similar issues already, and my issue has not been reported yet. Yes
Linux distribution = Garuda Linux based on Arch with KDE Desktop Kernel 6.2.13 zen-1-zen
Howdy version (`sudo howdy version`): Howdy 3.0.0 BETA
Please help

Research direction
Start with /lib/security/howdy/compare.py at line 18 and inspect the Python environment used when Howdy runs after the Garuda update. Check the reported `dlib` import failure and compare it with the working snapshot; done means Howdy runs without `ModuleNotFoundError` after an update.
