Re: [orca-list] orca install from git

[Milton <milton duurzaamdigitaal org>]

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.
