I'm trying to install advisor through pip install advisor but it fails with the following error:

ERROR: More than one .egg-info directory found in /tmp/pip-pip-egg-info-<somehash>

$ pip --version
pip 21.0.1 from /my_home/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pip (python 3.6)

I tried this with two other ubuntu machines; one with the same pip version 21.0.1 and the other with an older pip 20.3.4; the latter successfully installed while the former failed with the same error message. I'm inclined to think that this is a pip version issue.

Anyone has other ideas to fix this?

It's a bug in the package — it calls setup() two times: 1 and 2.
