pip issue

[Gisle Vanem]

Hello list.

I have an issue with 'pip v. 22.3.1'. On any
'pip install' command I get warning like this:
   c:\> pip3 install asciinema
   WARNING: Ignoring invalid distribution -arkupsafe (f:\gv\python310\lib\site-packages)
   WARNING: Ignoring invalid distribution -arkupsafe (f:\gv\python310\lib\site-packages)
   Collecting asciinema
     Downloading asciinema-2.2.0-py3-none-any.whl (92 kB)
   ...

Otherwise no issues. But where is this text "-arkupsafe" stored
and how to get rid it it? I've searched through all of my .pth
files and found no such string.

I assume this is an entry for an orphaned package "MarkupSafe"
since a 'pip list | grep markup' will list 'MarkupSafe 2.1.1'.
