I can confirm the bug on a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04.1. Pip user install is severely broken!
Steps to reproduce: 1. install Ubuntu 16.04.1 (I'm in a VM) 2. sudo apt-get install python-pip 3. try some pip install. Even a simple package as termcolor $ pip install termcolor ... installs $ pip install termcolor ... installs again! however pip uninstall works ok! Also, sudo installation is fine: it recognizes the user installed package ! (see attached session log) ** Attachment added: "terminal session with a sequence pip install tests" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-pip/+bug/1628432/+attachment/4753578/+files/pip%20install%20bug -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1628432 Title: pip user install doesn't know of previously installed package To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-pip/+bug/1628432/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
