flare-capa cannot be installed with python >=3.9 and python-flirt 0.9.x

[tfluehmann]

Description

The flare-capa python library is not compatible with python version >= 3.10 and raises an issue during the installation.
It only works if python-flirt is fixed to 0.8.x. None of the newer versions are compatible with python-flirt 0.9.x.

Steps to Reproduce

pyproject.toml

[tool.poetry]
name = "capa-test"
version = "1.0.0"
description = ""

[tool.poetry.dependencies]
python = ">=3.9,<=3.12"
flare-capa = "8.0.1"

Dockerfile

ARG PYTHON_VERSION=3.11.4
FROM python:${PYTHON_VERSION} AS base

RUN python3 -m pip install poetry
ENV HOME=/app/capa
WORKDIR $HOME
COPY pyproject.toml $HOME
RUN poetry lock

RUN poetry install

Finally when I try to run the docker build command:

docker build -t capa .

I get the following error:

Dockerfile:10
--------------------
   8 |     RUN poetry lock

  10 | >>> RUN poetry install

--------------------
ERROR: failed to solve: process "/bin/sh -c poetry install" did not complete successfully: exit code: 1

Expected behavior:

The installation is successful if I just want to install the library without specifying anything else.

Actual behavior:

The installation of the library does not work when python-flirt is not specified at all or is not 0.8.x.

Versions

I've tried it with capa 7.3.0 up to 8.0.1
Additionally with python3.9.x, python3.10.x, python3.11.x and python3.12.x.

Thanks for the thorough bug report! I'll take a look tomorrow.
