Installation as instructed for Mint fails

[LinuxOnTheDesktop]

The output of thefuck --version (something like The Fuck 3.1 using Python 3.5.0 and Bash 4.4.12(1)-release):

Irrelevant - the problem is with installing the program in the first place.

Your system (Debian 7, ArchLinux, Windows, etc.):

Mint 22 Cinnamon. (Mint 22 is based upon Ubuntu 24.04, a.k.a. 'Ubuntu Noble'.)

How to reproduce the bug:

Do, as per installation instructions (within the README) this:

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install python3-dev python3-pip python3-setuptools
$ pip3 install thefuck --user

And consequently see the following after the pip3 install.

error: externally-managed-environment

× This environment is externally managed
╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try apt install
    python3-xyz, where xyz is the package you are trying to
    install.
    
    If you wish to install a non-Debian-packaged Python package,
    create a virtual environment using python3 -m venv path/to/venv.
    Then use path/to/venv/bin/python and path/to/venv/bin/pip. Make
    sure you have python3-full installed.
    
    If you wish to install a non-Debian packaged Python application,
    it may be easiest to use pipx install xyz, which will manage a
    virtual environment for you. Make sure you have pipx installed.
    
    See /usr/share/doc/python3.12/README.venv for more information.

note: If you believe this is a mistake, please contact your Python installation or OS distribution provider. You can override this, at the risk of breaking your Python installation or OS, by passing --break-system-packages.
hint: See PEP 668 for the detailed specification.

The output of The Fuck with THEFUCK_DEBUG=true exported (typically execute export THEFUCK_DEBUG=true in your shell before The Fuck):

Irrelevant.

If the bug only appears with a specific application, the output of that application and its version:

Irrelevant.

Anything else you think is relevant:

Nothing.

EDITED (because I submitted the form too early by accident).

consider

• The repo is dead #1466
• https://codeberg.org/iff/pay-respects

@j-lakeman

I.e., the current repository is unmaintained (at least largely) and there is a program with the (odd?) name 'Pay Respects' that is maintained and does a similar job to TheFuck. Right. Thanks.
