ControlNet prevents the SD WebUI

[akilmaf]

Using SD1.5

Everything was just fine until a week ago when I was trying to install an extension. Then the WebUI gave some errors so I restarted the client. Then the WebUI did not show up until I found out that ControlNet was somehow the issue.

I can use the WebUI if I remove controlnet folder from stable-diffusion-webui\extensions folder.
If I put it back there, it won't start.

I don't remember the name of the extension I was trying to install but it was a common one that everybody uses. I feel like something is broken and Controlnet folder is the victim.

Somebody recommended deleting the "venv" folder and reinstalling it to fix the problem. But as the folder size is too big for my limited internet speed here, I did not want to go for it immediately.

Any thoughts?

Here is the error message on console:
