Installation of v0.6 fails on Ubuntu

[StuartBayley]

I'm seeing a problem with the v0.6 package from pypi when I try to install it on Ubuntu.

Here is the output:

(.venv) ubuntu@nano:~/MD2PDF/Test$ pip install md2pdf
Collecting md2pdf
  Using cached md2pdf-0.6.tar.gz (6.2 kB)
  Preparing metadata (setup.py) ... error

  × python setup.py egg_info did not run successfully.

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

× Encountered error while generating package metadata.
╰─> See above for output.

note: This is an issue with the package mentioned above, not pip.
hint: See above for details.

Here is some info about the environment:

(.venv) ubuntu@nano:~/MD2PDF/Test$ grep VERSION  /etc/os-release 
VERSION_ID="22.04"
VERSION="22.04.2 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish)"
VERSION_CODENAME=jammy
(.venv) ubuntu@nano:~/MD2PDF/Test$ python --version
Python 3.10.6
(.venv) ubuntu@nano:~/MD2PDF/Test$ pip list
Package    Version
---------- -------
pip        22.0.2
setuptools 59.6.0

I see the same error after upgrading to pip 23.0.1 and setuptools 67.6.1, which are the latest available.
