@andreas the fix they did only applies if use2\_to\_3 is set to false, but in rdflib-jsonld it’s set to true: [rdflib-jsonld/setup.py at master · RDFLib/rdflib-jsonld · GitHub](https://github.com/RDFLib/rdflib-jsonld/blob/master/setup.py#L80) So I don’t think this fix applies to us. Plus in the discussion on the issue they explicitly mention that they want builds to fail when this is set to true.

@LiliGasser @lusamino adding the command above as a separate RUN in the Dockerfile doesn’t work, for some reason.

I tested this Dockerfile locally and that worked (adding the command on line 43 as part of the overall install command):

```auto
# For finding latest versions of the base image see
# https://github.com/SwissDataScienceCenter/renkulab-docker
ARG RENKU_BASE_IMAGE=renku/renkulab-py:3.8-0.7.5
FROM ${RENKU_BASE_IMAGE}

# Uncomment and adapt if code is to be included in the image
# COPY src /code/src

# Uncomment and adapt if your R or python packages require extra linux (ubuntu) software
# e.g. the following installs apt-utils and vim; each pkg on its own line, all lines
# except for the last end with backslash '\' to continue the RUN line
#
# USER root
# RUN apt-get update && \
# apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends \
# apt-utils \
# vim
# USER ${NB_USER}

# install the python dependencies
COPY requirements.txt environment.yml /tmp/
RUN conda env update -q -f /tmp/environment.yml && \
    /opt/conda/bin/pip install -r /tmp/requirements.txt && \
    conda clean -y --all && \
    conda env export -n "root"

# for streamlit apps
COPY jupyter_notebook_config.py ~/.jupyter/

# RENKU_VERSION determines the version of the renku CLI
# that will be used in this image. To find the latest version,
# visit https://pypi.org/project/renku/#history.
ARG RENKU_VERSION=0.16.0
