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).
#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:
18:21 < rlaager> ianbruene: You could switch based on $prefix == '/usr'
The problem with this is that there are four possible situations, not 2:
Distro Install: /usr/lib/python<ver>/dist-packages
Distro Install, pip: /usr/lib/python<ver>/site-packages
User Install, pip: /usr/local/python<ver>/dist-packages
User Install: /usr/local/python<ver>/site-packages
Distinguishing between Distro/User is easy enough; rlaager's suggestion
works. But I don't know how to detect the other switch.
