Building wheel package fails with JS dependency error

[bertptrs]

I'm trying to build the wheel from scratch, for packaging for Arch Linux, but am running into a dependency issue. I believe the lockfile needs to be updated. To reproduce:

This problem can be worked around by causing the lockfile to be invalid, so dependencies are evaluated again, but that is not desirable in the context of reproducible builds.

Nice to see that this was picked up already. Is there anything I can do to help out here? I have tried regenerating the lockfile but that runs into different issues because certain libraries no longer type check. Nevertheless, I'd be happy to help solving this issue.
