SRU information. [Impact] pip installing a package as root into /usr/local is a supported use case. This bug describes two problems with that in Trusty. First, installing some packages, such as httpie, can upgrade requests to an incompatible version, causing a subsequent ImportError when running pip. It can also mess with the system's requests egg.info causing an error in debsums
[Test Case] See comment #4: $ sudo pip install httpie $ pip --help $ debsums -s python-requests [Regression Potential] While no regressions have been detected during testing, watch for system packages getting messed up or replaced after a sudo pip install, or the user's packages, or /usr/local admin packages getting messed up. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1324391 Title: pip 1.5.4 import an invalid dependencies To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-pip/+bug/1324391/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
