Public bug reported: I have the python3-opencv packaged installed.
Still if I create a venv with system site packages and try to install opencv: python3 -m venv --system-site-packages tmp ./tmp/bin/pip install opencv-python It will install opencv from pypi instead of ignoring it as it does for numpy for example: ./tmp/bin/pip install numpy Requirement already satisfied: numpy in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages (1.19.5) The problem seems to be that numpy installs the folder: /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/numpy-1.19.5.egg-info/ While opencv does not create any such egg-info folder.
