Public bug reported:

In 2015 I found a bug on virtualenv-clone.


Sometimes the source virtual environment has symlinks that point to itself
one example is $OLD_VIRTUAL_ENV/local/lib points to $OLD_VIRTUAL_ENV/lib

After cloning the virtualenv, the new virtual env must have the
following symlink:

$NEW_VIRTUAL_ENV/local/lib will point to $NEW_VIRTUAL_ENV/lib


Usually this goes unnoticed unless one tries to upgrade a package though pip, 
so this bug is hard to find.

I sent a pull request to the virtualenv-clone author and it got merged:
https://github.com/edwardgeorge/virtualenv-clone/pull/17/files

So all I am requesting here is for the ubuntu package to be updated.

One way to reproduce this is to install Django via pip. It creates these
symlinks.
