OctoPrint - plugins fail to install

[smarthomelawyer]

First, thank you so much for the the OctoPrint LXC!

Install went smoothly, as usual, but I seem to be running into issues installing Plugins. No matter which one I try to install, I get the below error (this one is the OctoPod plugin). Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

Installing plugin "OctoPrint-OctoPod" from https://github.com/gdombiak/OctoPrint-OctoPod/archive/master.zip...
/opt/octoprint/bin/python3 -m pip --disable-pip-version-check install file:///tmp/tmp260c6xzx/OctoPrint-OctoPod-master.zip --no-cache-dir

[end of output]
note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

Looks like an issue with OctoPrint itself - switching to OctoPrint 1.9.0 (currently in RC testing phase) solves the issue.

For anyone with same issue, more info on the fix here:

I'll add pip install wheel
