Uh, huh...

The problem

/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pip/_vendor/platformdirs/__init__.py:

In Debian Bookworm (pip3 v23.0.1):

def _set_platform_dir_class() -> type[PlatformDirsABC]:
    if sys.platform == "win32":
        from pip._vendor.platformdirs.windows import Windows as Result
    elif sys.platform == "darwin":
        from pip._vendor.platformdirs.macos import MacOS as Result
    else:
        from pip._vendor.platformdirs.unix import Unix as Result

    if os.getenv("ANDROID_DATA") == "/data" and os.getenv("ANDROID_ROOT") == "/system":

        if os.getenv("SHELL") or os.getenv("PREFIX"):
            return Result

        from pip._vendor.platformdirs.android import _android_folder

        if _android_folder() is not None:
            from pip._vendor.platformdirs.android import Android

            return Android  # return to avoid redefinition of result

    return Result

In Ubuntu Jammy (pip3 v22.0.2):

def _set_platform_dir_class() -> type[PlatformDirsABC]:
    if os.getenv("ANDROID_DATA") == "/data" and os.getenv("ANDROID_ROOT") == "/system":
        module, name = "pip._vendor.platformdirs.android", "Android"
    elif sys.platform == "win32":
        module, name = "pip._vendor.platformdirs.windows", "Windows"
    elif sys.platform == "darwin":
        module, name = "pip._vendor.platformdirs.macos", "MacOS"
    else:
        module, name = "pip._vendor.platformdirs.unix", "Unix"
    result: type[PlatformDirsABC] = getattr(importlib.import_module(module), name)
    return result

The solution

Just unset any of the ANDROID_DATA or ANDROID_ROOT environment variables and proceed.

Unsetting ANDROID_DATA or ANDROID_ROOT environment variables is a way more convenient. The mentioned type of vandalizing things is not necessary here at all.
