Unable to upgrade standardebooks tools (Ubuntu 20.04)

[David Gross]

Can anyone help me get past this error? I'm following the instructions at the repo. I've also tried deleting ~/.local/pipx first as per some suggestions in old threads on this list.

$ pipx install standardebooks

Maybe this error? https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/2029

Maybe your version of setuptools is too old?

$ python3 -c "import sys; import setuptools; print (setuptools.version.__version__)"
67.8.0

Is that too old?

[Alex Cabal]

Probably too new. Ubuntu 22.04 shows 59.6.0.
