Error with mako missing when updating to v25.09

[ElucGeek]

I'm running CLN on ubuntu. I just did update to 25.05 without issue but then I wanted to update to 25.09 and I get this error during poetry run make:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'mako'
make: *** [Makefile:328: common/status_wiregen.h] Error 1

Here is the complete output from when it's start the make:

Any idea where it's coming from?

25.9 no longer uses poetry but uv instead, check the updated install instructions https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/blob/v25.09/doc/getting-started/getting-started/installation.md

I followed the new instructions but still have the error with mako on RUST_PROFILE=release make install

That should not happen. I think this comes from not having a clean git tree and make install trying to compile again instead of just installing. Before and after RUST_PROFILE=release uv run make check that git status doesnt show anything red and try sudo RUST_PROFILE=release make install.

If there is something red run git restore . then RUST_PROFILE=release uv run make check again and then sudo RUST_PROFILE=release make install should work.
