aiy-python-wheels fails to get installed on raspbian bullseye on rpi4

[tarzanek]

as per HACKING.md trying to get wheels installed on latest bullseye on raspberry pi 4:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo apt-get install -y aiy-python-wheels

can support for v7l+ be added?

@dmitriykovalev pretty please? :-)

I'm currently working through my own reinstall on top of Raspberry Pi OS Bullseye, and I ran into the same issue. I was able to resolve it using the instructions at #526 (comment).

[tarzanek]

seems skipping that protobuf package looks safe enough @LRitzdorf
since:

root@raspberrypi:~# pip3 list | grep proto
googleapis-common-protos 1.53.0
proto-plus               1.19.8
protobuf                 3.19.1

and above is trying to install 3.14

Hm, interesting. I thought Google installed their own optimized protobuf fork, but I'm not certain of that.
Also, would you mind letting me know how audio goes, over in #752? It sounds like we're both reinstalling on top of the base Raspbian image, so I'm curious to see if you run into the same issue I did.
