with no changes, madgraph now gives keyerror "version" on launch

[Jack]

I've been using madgraph for a few months and it's been working fine, launched it today and got:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "mg5_aMC.py", line 148, in <module>
    import madgraph.interface.master_interface as interface

    version = "v%(version)s (%(date)s)"%misc.get_pkg_info()
KeyError: 'version'

Tried turning it off and on, tried redownloading the current release and the 2.9 release, checked my VERSION file is there (it says version = 3.3.1
date = 2021-12-04).

Still doesn't work. Any ideas?

Fixed it, there was an empty VERSION file in all of my madgraph folders, which was being used. I replaced it with another copy of the actual one, and it seems to work now
