[Bug 1779564] Re: pip3 installation does not give expected result

[Hans Joachim Desserud]

Thanks for reporting.

The package suggestion comes from the command-not-found package, but I'm
not quite sure which is at fault here. (Especially since I am not able
to reproduce the issue on my 17.10 system, pip3 runs as expected after
installing)

Could you please post the output of the following commands:
1. dpkg -L python3-pip (tells us which files are installed by the package, which should include the pip3 binary)
2. apt policy python3-pip (just to double-check, the version number looks ok from the apport information in the summary)
3. echo $PATH (in case it can't find the binary to run in your PATH, although this sounds a bit unlikely)

Bug description:
  To a naive user (like me) the following should not happen. I get a
  suggestion to install an already-installed package. ie, installing the
  package does not make a difference:

   [~/]$ pip3
   The program 'pip3' is currently not installed. You can install it by 
   typing:
   sudo apt install python3-pip
   [~/]$ sudo apt install python3-pip
   wipe your finger across the fingerprint reader

   python3-pip is already the newest version (9.0.1-2).
