Hi! Thank you for writing in!
We actually are going to address this in the next release:
https://github.com/saulpw/visidata/issues/1911. `pkg_resources` got removed
as a hidden dependency on our development branch.
v3.0 is slated for in the next 2-4 weeks. You discovered one workaround;
the other is to install `python3-setuptools`.
