What exactly is the problem that occurs when you're trying to install fiction-dl?

I've tried installing the package using pip on Linux Mint (sudo aptitude install python3-pip; pip3 install fiction-dl) and it appears to work perfectly fine; pip automatically downloads and installs PyMuPDF without any issues. The installed package works fine, too - executing "./.local/bin/fiction-dl URL" from the home directory launches the application without any problems.

Distributor ID: LinuxMint Description: Linux Mint 19.3 Tricia Release: 19.3 Codename: tricia

Base python is 3.6 ( and thats base python for that mint and is used in many places when you install 3.8 and set it as default the system is very wonky) and that's just a start of gimmicks you need to jump over. After the command sudo aptitude install python3-pip; pip3 install fiction-dl . It obviously trying to compile that bastard fitz thing and failing god knows why maybe my system is messed up and I should install newest version to make the problem go away. Nevertheless. log1.txt
