I currently do not have any handle on #417. I know where the issue
is most likely to be, but do not know how to truly fix the problem
short of whipping up a completely new build-path-finder (say goodbye
to a ntpsnmpd in an early January 1.1 if this happens).<br>
<br>
#414 is a simple - if hacky - fix. The problem is figuring out how
to trigger the fix at the right times and no others. The other day
rlaager made a suggestion:<br>
<br>
18:21 < rlaager> ianbruene: You could switch based on $prefix
== '/usr'<br>
<br>
The problem with this is that there are four possible situations,
not 2:<br>
<br>
Distro Install: /usr/lib/python<ver>/dist-packages<br>
<br>
Distro Install, pip: /usr/lib/python<ver>/site-packages<br>
<br>
User Install, pip: /usr/local/python<ver>/dist-packages<br>
<br>
User Install: /usr/local/python<ver>/site-packages<br>
<br>
Distinguishing between Distro/User is easy enough; rlaager's
suggestion works. But I don't know how to detect the other switch.<br>
