Did maybe pip-sync create the venv with --system-site-packages (at least that's the commandline option for pip)
I only saw behaviour like this so far, when my venv was with --system-site-packages and a package was installed by the system. Sorry for the first mess.

On my bare metal I have the apparmor python package installed, but it is not installed in my venv and it's not in my requirements file. When I run pip-sync I get: Found existing installation: apparmor 2.13.3 ERROR: Cannot uninstall 'apparmor'. It is a distutils installed project and thus we cannot accurately determine which files belong to it which would lead to only a partial uninstall. Since it's not installed in the venv why does it want to uninstall it? -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
