Error installing dependencies in Houdini 20.5

[mrgbell]

When installing a fresh copy of MLOPs in Houdini Core 20.5.278 - Py3.11 on Windows 10, I am running into the following error:
ERROR: Invalid requirement: 'alphapose==0.5.0-': Expected end or semicolon (after version specifier)

I checked that PYTHONPATH is not defined in the system environment variables. In Houdini's About menu I see the value of PYTHONPATH as:

PYTHONPATH E:/MLOPs/scripts/python/characterpipeline/MotionBert;E:/MLOPs/data/dependencies/python

I tried reinstalling in Houdini 20.0.751 - Py3.10 and run into the same error
