Thanks for the info, Julian. I wasn't aware that easy_install installed
into /usr/local even when you sudo easy_install. Good to know!

Title:

easy_install installs stuff into /ur/local by default
stuff installed with make install usually also goes there by default
that folder is not under control of the package management and thus it cannot
be guaranteed that its content won't break on distribution upgrades.

Hmm, ok. Can I ask *how* I might have installed something locally? I
don't remember doing anything other than sudo apt-get install... Other
than easy_install and apt-get, I don't install any other ways.
Thanks in advance,
jay

the default interpreter changed from 2.6 to 2.7, thats probably the
reason your local installation fails and why reinstalling it with
easy_install fixes it.

the existance of the local installation does mean you did something out of the
ordinary from a distribution point of view.
you had a local installation with version 1.4.8 and the distribution version is
1.4.9 and your local installation was not correctly set up to restrict itself
to the local fi
Hi Julian,
As I noted above, I've done nothing out-of-the-ordinary. I installed
virtualenv using sudo apt-get install python-virtualenv. When I upgrade
to 11.04, things were broken. Uninstalling and re-installing via apt-get
failed to correct the issue. However, sudo easy_install virtualenv
worked
you are using a local installation of virtualenv which appears to be
incompatible with the files installed by the distribution virtualenf
File "/usr/*local*/bin/virtualenv", line 5, in
try the distribution version:
/usr/bin/virtualenv
