Embedded python errors typically means missing modules. On Windows/Mac, that means a purposefully altered installation. i.e. deleting or moving files from where they were initially installed.

On Linux, it could mean not having the necessary modules installed in the first place, or uninstalling them (or an upgrade of the system Python from 3.5 to 3.6 or 3.6 to 3.7 where pip-installed modules got abandoned). Or the manually compiled version of Sigil no longer jives with the system-installed Python and needs to be rebuilt.

I use both the Windows and Linux versions of Sigil 0.9.18 (both repo supplied and self-built) and have never gotten embedded Python errors editing metadata or merging/splitting files. Something else is in play here.
