"pip install" does not operate if "pip uninstall" has been invoked previously.

[RokeJulianLockhart]

"x" is "pmbootstrap" or "tg", and "pip" is obviously "pip3" or "pip".

Description

I believe that "http://github.com/paul-nameless/tg/issues/275#issuecomment-1126788158" explains well that the executable file that "pip install x" should create the whenever "pip install x" is invoked is not created during the 2nd invocation of "pip install x".

Expected behavior

The executable file that "pip install x" should create the whenever "pip install x" is invoked should be created during the 2nd invocation of "pip install x".

pip version

"22.0.4."

Python version

"3.10.4".

OS

"Linux BEEDELLROKEJULIANLOCKHART 5.18.0-0.rc6.20220511gitfeb9c5e19e913b5.50.fc37.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Wed May 11 15:10:58 UTC 2022 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux".

"http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/Server/x86_64/iso/" installs it.

How to Reproduce

1. Execute "pip install x".
2. Execute "pip uninstall x".
3. Execute "x".

[uranusjr]

This is most likely due to the second pip install installs to the user-site (at ~/.local), not the global site (at /usr/local). You probably need to run rehash to update the command cache.

[RokeJulianLockhart]

@uranusjr, if this issue described what is known to be erroneous, and requires subsequent triage, why has it been closed; is that status temporary?

[uranusjr]

It’s not errorneous and likely out of pip’s control. It is always possible to reopen if further evidence proves the previous judgement was incorrect.

[RokeJulianLockhart]

@uranusjr, I misread the notification. I thought that you added the labels that you removed. I am thankful for your explanation anyway.
