No module named 'virtualenv.seed.via_app_data'

[papercheck]

Attempting to install suez on Ubuntu Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS, but when running poetry install, I am receiving: No module named 'virtualenv.seed.via_app_data'.

I am not sure what version of virtualenv is required, but mine is virtualenv 20.13.0

Thanks, I was going to close this issue as I ran across the answer, but just in case it isn't clear to other Ubuntu users.

# Remove apt installation of virtualenv
sudo apt remove virtualenv

# Install virtualenv with pip
pip install virtualenv

# test using --help, if this command generates an error, than the apt-get installation was not purged
virtualenv --help

Interestingly enough, virtualenv --version always works, so you have to test with virtualenv --help

I really don't understand how can Ubuntu still ship broken virtualenv after 2 years in their LTS product. Ubuntu LTS is a joke.
