Try "sudo apt install streamlink python3-streamlink".  It won't solve
the problem, but it may get you a more informative error message.  If
you get another "but it is not going to be installed", add that package
to the command line too and repeat - eventually you should get to
something useful.

"pip uninstall streamlink" should be a start, though there are evidently
some other locally-installed dependencies as well.  Hard to advise
without knowing whether you're deliberately using pip outside a
virtualenv for other things.
