This is a new post because the errors are somewhat different than under 9.0.0-RC1

Looks like there was an update to plio in November that generated new .proto files using protobuf version 5+. The Isis environment is only able to get to version 4.25 of protobuf due to other dependency restrictions. These errors are caused from the 4+ version of protobuf. Seems like there was a "workaround" with 9.0.0-RC1 in which a 5+ version of protobuf was installed through pip. I was able to do this for the RC2 as a quickfix to get around this error. But I am working on seeing if it is possible to install protobuf 5+ into isis or if we need to pin plio to version 1.5.3.
