It is landed in Ubuntu 23.04, see
https://fostips.com/pip-install-error-ubuntu-2304/

Fedora is still waiting, see
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/PythonMarkExternallyManaged

For advanced Ubuntu users compiling and installing MythTV from source,
do a "export PIP_BREAK_SYSTEM_PACKAGES=1" before the
installation of the local build.
