It is not solving the problem. The error occurs when installing numpy==1.24.2.

This error occurs even on a bare new virtual env (Windows 11, Python 3.12.7)

Depending on your python version, this numpy version should change, try first to install only numpy and edit qiskit metals's requirement file to use this version. Maybe you might face problem with other packages afterward.

Personnaly with python 3.12.7, I got this file:

addict==2.4.0
descartes==1.1.0
gdspy==1.6.13
geopandas==0.12.2
ipython==8.30.0
matplotlib==3.9.3
numpy==1.26.4
pandas==1.5.3
pint==0.20.1
pyEPR-quantum==0.9.0
pygments==2.18.0
pyside6
qdarkstyle==3.1
qutip==4.7.6
scipy==1.12.0
shapely==2.0.6
scqubits==3.1.0
gmsh==4.11.1
pyaedt==0.13.0
pyyaml==6.0.2
cython<3.0.0

but I can't tell you if everything is working well. Moreover, it should still be possible to bump some packages without breaking the code.
