I cannot reproduce this on Debian Bookworm or on macOS. It's unusual that it refers to package UNKNOWN. Googling this suggests that setuptools is too old. Maybe make a venv and then upgrade setuptools in it?

I have update my setuptools version from setuptools 59.6.0 to setuptools 70，but it doesn't work.

My OS is ubuntu 22.04 and python version is 3.10 which is default in ubuntu 22.04

[rthalley]

Do you see the same error as the first poster reported? We still cannot reproduce this.
