do you have the `wheel` package in your dependencies? can you try installing it and rerun?

don't have it in there explicitly. works on my local (macos 11.4, python 3.9.6 via homebrew) without this error.

i've tried the following before invoking my automation program without success:
• `sudo apt install python3-wheel` # says already up to date
• `python3 -m pip install wheel`  with and without `--upgrade`, and with and without `uninstall` before `install`
• ^ same things for `setuptools` 
• ^ `python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip` before all of these
• ... and mostly everything else i could find on stackoverflow that seemed relevant

what OS/arch are you using? in your runner?

ubuntu-latest seems to map to ubuntu 20.04 with python 3.8

`uname -a` :
Linux fv-az95-401 5.8.0-1036-azure #38~20.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jun 17 14:14:18 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

i'm completely stumped, this works flawless most of the time :disappointed: it does look like the wheel package isn't installed correctly though
