Re: [orca-list] how come Orca master in Ubuntu 22.04 is 42.0

[Milton <milton duurzaamdigitaal org>]

Many thanks Jeremy! My issue is solved after executing:

sudo rm -fr /usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages
sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages 
/usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages
