Build problem

[Lars Bjørndal]

Hello!

I've installed the latest nikola 8.3.1 within a virtualenv. When trying to do
`nikola build`, I get an error message:

ERROR: Nikola: mako.exceptions.TopLevelLookupException: Can't locate
template for uri 'annotation_helper.tmpl'.

I'll paste the complete output below. How can I solve this problem?

Hi,

Your theme is mentioning a template that was removed in the latest
version. This file will be restored in the next release, but with
empty content.

The easiest fix would be to restore the files in your install as well:

I did `touch lib/python3.12/site-packages/nikola/data/themes/base-jinja/templates/annotation_helper.tmpl` and the same for base, and it seems to work.
