WSL Ubuntu下无法安装/重装/卸载Matplotlib 3.9.1求助

我在WSL Ubuntu 22.04 LTS中将matplotlib升级至3.9.1，用于复现同事在我的程序中遇到的bug，但尝试回退到之前使用的3.5.1版本时，遇到了诸多问题：无法安装Matplotlib 3.5.1、无法强制重装Matplotlib 3.9.1，也无法彻底移除已存在的Matplotlib。

1. 安装Matplotlib 3.5.1失败 #

执行命令：

pip3 install matplotlib==3.5.1

出现以下错误：

2. 强制重装Matplotlib 3.9.1失败 #

执行错误提示的命令：

pip install --force-reinstall --no-deps matplotlib==3.9.1

仍出现相同错误：

3. 卸载Matplotlib失败 #

执行命令：

pip uninstall matplotlib

同样返回该错误：

WARNING: No metadata found in ./.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages
Found existing installation: matplotlib 3.9.1
error: uninstall-no-record-file

× Cannot uninstall matplotlib 3.9.1
╰─> The package's contents are unknown: no RECORD file was found for matplotlib.

hint: You might be able to recover from this via: pip install --force-reinstall --no-deps matplotlib==3.9.1

即使使用sudo尝试移除并重装Matplotlib也失败了。我担心自己可能损坏了Python或Ubuntu的安装，虽有文件备份可重装，但希望能找到解决方案。
