Hello all, Is that patch even necessary still? In Fedora with python3-pip 2.22.3, `sudo pip install python-dbusmock` installs into /usr/local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/dbusmock/ , i.e. does not conflict with /usr any more. They do have a more targetted protection of /usr [1], but no general path mangling in their other patches [2].
Thanks, Martin [1] https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-pip/blob/rawhide/f/remove-existing-dist-only-if-path-conflicts.patch [2] https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-pip/tree/rawhide
