Describe the bug After installed scons by "sudo python3 setup.py install" and check the version by "scons -v", I got error report like:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/scons", line 33, in sys.exit(load_entry_point('SCons==4.0.1', 'console_scripts', 'scons')()) File "/usr/bin/scons", line 22, in importlib_load_entry_point for entry_point in distribution(dist_name).entry_points File "/home/mi/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/importlib_metadata/init.py", line 558, in distribution return Distribution.from_name(distribution_name) File "/home/mi/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/importlib_metadata/init.py", line 215, in from_name raise PackageNotFoundError(name) importlib_metadata.PackageNotFoundError: No package metadata was found for SCons

Required information How to resolved this?

Thanks.

Which distro? Which distro version? Where did you download the package? Can you try with pip install instead of setup.py install?
