Description

This warning is appearing during provisioning. It clutters logs and hinders dev experience (https://github.com/openedx/edx-platform/issues/32888).

It's coming from multiple dependencies, but it won't cause any mayor issue besides cluttering.

AC:

  • The warnings stop cluttering logs
