any specifc urllib3 version is needed for rocky8?

We Don’t see any issues on Redhat8

It worked after pinning urllib3==1.21.1

It appears you are configuring your systems in a way that is not supported (e.g. you are using pip and upgrading modules directly as root). There should never be a reason to do any pinning to make a system package work.
