No, it isn't. The latest version of Orca I believe is 42.0. I am not 
sure because I use it from master in my Arch system, it states as 42.0, 
but I am not sure if it was pulled to all repos of all distros officially.

Yes, this is a known thing in Ubuntu and all Debian based systems.
What happens is that system doesn't know what Orca to use, from repo or 
Orca we compiled from git.
To fix that, we have to create a soft symlink from Python site-packages 
to Python dist-packages and it should work.
The idea is to show the system that we want to use our installed 
packages by hand which are site-packages and not that the repos provide 
us which are dist-packages.
I might be wrong about the direction because I was always confusing it.
I hope that it can give you the direction where to go.
Thank you!
