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

[Hans Joachim Desserud]

>apt remove followed by apt install did fix the problem. Sorry I did not
try that earlier. I do not know what could have been the problem.

I don't know either. I suspect that "something" deleted the binary, but
I wouldn't really know where to look to figure out what. So unless this
happened really recently, I think it will be a needle in the haystack to
find something in the apt logs.

I'm closing this for now, based on your latest comment. If you do happen
to find out the underlying cause, please report a new bug for this.

Title:
  pip3 installation does not give expected result

Status in command-not-found package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in python-pip package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

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
   Reading package lists... Done
   Building dependency tree
   Reading state information... Done
   python3-pip is already the newest version (9.0.1-2).
