macos: Fix CI dependency error
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The following error popped up during our CI builds on MacOS:
```shell
$ pip3 install mako
  shell: /bin/bash -e {0}
error: externally-managed-environment

× This environment is externally managed
╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try brew install
    xyz, where xyz is the package you are trying to
    install.

    If you wish to install a non-brew-packaged Python package,
    create a virtual environment using python3 -m venv path/to/venv.
    Then use path/to/venv/bin/python and path/to/venv/bin/pip.

    If you wish to install a non-brew packaged Python application,
    it may be easiest to use pipx install xyz, which will manage a
    virtual environment for you. Make sure you have pipx installed.

note: If you believe this is a mistake, please contact your Python installation or OS distribution provider. You can override this, at the risk of breaking your Python installation or OS, by passing --break-system-packages.
hint: See PEP 668 for the detailed specification.
```
[PEP668](https://peps.python.org/pep-0668/) tries to help people to
prevent dependency issues on their systems.
We can be pretty sure that our controlled CI environment is not affected
by this issue. Thus, we can use `--break-system-packages` and install
system-wide.
