Hi,
I only use Ubuntu LTS but a year ago, if memory serves me, I saw a
message like this:
Ubuntu 21.10 wants to see things in dist-packages, instead of
site-packages. I created a simlink from /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages
to /usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages, and all is well. Version number is
reporting correctly.
But somebody correct me if it is wrong.

So I am trying to update my orca to the latest bleeding edge version.
In the past I would just do a git pull, then ./configure… make , make
install.
I’m running ubuntu 21.10, and I think it had orca 40.0 that came with
it.
Is this the latest version of Orca?
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.
Because when I install from git, I just get orca v40.0 as well.
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!
