Public bug reported:
When `get_python_lib` function is called with `/usr/local` prefix it
returns path which is not included into `sys.path` list. Consequently if
python package is installed under this path it cannot be imported by
python.
Path which is returned:
$ /usr/bin/python3 -c "from distutils.sysconfig import
*;print(get_python_lib(prefix='/usr/local'))"
/usr/local/lib/python3/dist-packages
`usr/local/path` which is present in `sys.path`
$ /usr/bin/python3 -c "import sys; print('\n'.join(sys.path))" | fgrep
'/usr/local'
/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages
There is the same bug reported to the `python3` package
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python3-defaults/+bug/1814653)
I created this report to stick it to the correct package.
1) The release of Ubuntu
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS
Release: 18.04
2) The version of the package
$ apt-cache policy python3-distutils
python3-distutils:
Installed: 3.6.7-1~18.04
Candidate: 3.6.7-1~18.04
Version table:

3) What you expected to happen
Path returned by `get_python_lib(prefix='/usr/local')` call is present
in `sys.path` list.
4) What happened instead
`get_python_lib(prefix='/usr/local')` returns /usr/local/lib/python3
/dist-packages which is absent in `sys.path`
