Installing some requirements taking too much time

I'm trying to install some needed requirements with the following command:

pip3.8 install -r requirements.txt

That is the version of python I'm using. It was running smoothly until I added the line "spacy==3.2.0". Now it's taking a long time and I'm getting these messages:

INFO: This is taking longer than usual. You might need to provide the dependency resolver with stricter constraints to reduce runtime. See https://pip.pypa.io/warnings/backtracking for guidance. If you want to abort this run, press Ctrl + C.
INFO: pip is looking at multiple versions of openapi-spec-validator to determine which version is compatible with other requirements. This could take a while.
INFO: pip is looking at multiple versions of markupsafe to determine which version is compatible with other requirements. This could take a while.

The thing I don't get is that all requirements specify the version exactly so the message isn't being helpful.

I'm doing this in a VM running Ubuntu 22.04 if it matters.

There have been few versions of pip that had bugs that could result in behavior like this, due to downloading every version of dependencies ("looking at multiple versions of..." is a sign of this). You can see more details about a really bad one here. If that's your problem you should be able to fix it by running pip3.8 install -U pip to update pip (or doing whatever your distribution requires).
