[Bug 1779564] Re: pip3 installation does not give expected result

[Hans Joachim Desserud]

Thanks for providing the requested information. I'm stumped as to why
this happens though.

While you have some additions to your PATH, that shouldn't "hide"
binaries like that. And /usr/bin is part of the PATH so when it picks up
python3 it should also find pip3. (I assume python3 runs as expected).

Are you able to run it, when specifying the full path i.e. /usr/bin/pip3
?

Bug description:
  To a naive user (like me) the following should not happen. I get a
  suggestion to install an already-installed package. ie, installing the
  package does not make a difference:

   [~/]$ pip3
   The program 'pip3' is currently not installed. You can install it by 
   typing:
   sudo apt install python3-pip
   [~/]$ sudo apt install python3-pip
   wipe your finger across the fingerprint reader

   python3-pip is already the newest version (9.0.1-2).
