I already add the `--` argument but pip won't add it.

Here is a command to reproduce the error: "calibre-debug -e /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pip/__pip-runner__.py -- install -t temp sudachidict-core"

and here is the error message:

      Usage: calibre-debug [options]

      Various command line interfaces useful for debugging calibre. With no options,
      this command starts an embedded Python interpreter. You can also run the main
      calibre GUI, the calibre E-book viewer and the calibre editor in debug mode.

      It also contains interfaces to various bits of calibre that do not have
      dedicated command line tools, such as font subsetting, the E-book diff tool and so
      on.

      You can also use calibre-debug to run standalone scripts. To do that use it like this:

          calibre-debug -e myscript.py -- --option1 --option2 file1 file2 ...

      Everything after the -- is passed to the script. You can also use calibre-debug
      as a shebang in scripts, like this:

          #!/usr/bin/env -S calibre-debug -e -- --


      Whenever you pass arguments to calibre-debug that have spaces in them, enclose the arguments in quotation marks. For example: "/some path/with spaces"
