Versions :

Python - 3.9

paddlepaddle - 2.0.0rc0

pip - 20.3.3

Here Robust is my virtual env created using conda .

Unable to solve to issue.

I found this thread https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/paddle2onnx/issues/36 But this doesn't solve the issue.

While this works fine on win

Hi you can try the latest the PaddleOCR models, which does not have the problem.

What's more, paddlepaddle with 2.3.1 version is a better choice.
