[EN] Can't install virutualenv
« on: 2016/02/06, 22:33:25 »
Hi,


I'm trying to install virutalenv but there seems to be a weird dependency that cannot be satisfied.
virtualenv requires python3-virtualenv
python3-virtualenv requires both python-setuptools-whl and python-pip-whl but they cannot be installed together.


When I install one, it removes the other and vice versa.

You probably need to wait a little bit, there seems to be some disruptive changes to python.

Thank you for your help.  It's good to know that it's not just an issue with my system.


Where's the best place to file a bug for this?  Should I file with Siduction or somewhere else?

this is upstream aka debian - you should use reportbug for it, it is installed in a standard siduction installation
