[Bug 113298] Re: kde applications fail due to library problem

[BryanLawrence]

Scott:

1) I didn't do an *upgrade*, I did an *install*. However, after the
install, I mounted my old /usr/local, and things started going wrong.

2) I think it is a *bug* in ubuntu if the system python is looking into
the site-packages of another python which lives in /usr/local. Their
library paths should not intermingle. They have never done so before, in
ubuntu, or any other linux with which I am familiar (and I have been
doing this a long time).

3) Having multiple pythons on a system is how you work out how to
upgrade systems. It's ludicrous to suggest that it shouldn't be done.
However, I'm obviously willing to admit I may have done it in a way that
wasn't optimal, but see point 2) above ... this is not dissimilar to
what would happen if you have a script which users /usr/bin/env python
rather than /usr/bin/python lurking in your system ... as I say, I
suspect something similar ...

How about not *rejecting* it quite yet ...
