[New-bugs-announce] [issue42089] Better message in PackageNotFoundError

[Jason R. Coombs]

New submission from Jason R. Coombs <jaraco at jaraco.com>:

As reported in https://gitlab.com/python-devs/importlib_metadata/-/issues/124, it would be nice if the PackageNotFoundError gave some guidance to the user about the context of the error and how to investigate.
