Hello all,
I've got sth. strange:
I wanted to install the "uwsgi" package, but the binray is already
installed. "pacman -Qo uwsgi" results in "No package owns
/usr/bin/uwsgi" (German: "Kein Paket besitzt /usr/bin/uwsgi").
So, why is it on my laptop? I'd guess it's probably been installed at
some time with apache httpd but has been removed later, but don't
know. Anybody knows about such an issue?
Kind regards

Installing by pip is generally not a good idea as it bypasses the package
manager which can lead to conflicts when you want the official package. You
can install django by installing python-django.
If the package you want is not available in the repositories or AUR, you might
want to use one of the "python environment" wrappers. This allows you to
create an isolated python install where you can safely install things with
pip. In addition this allows you to "lock" to specific versions if you need
this.
According to the wiki, the uwsgi executable can be installed through the same-
named package, so it seems that you most likely accidentally installed it from
source.

In the meantime, I've checked all python folders - no uwsgi found.
Checked /var/cache/pacman/pkg - the package has obviously been
downloaded on Jan, 7th, but it's not found when I'm looking for it with
pacman. Probably sth. went wrong, then. I remember I had a problem with
the power supply some days ago, probably this was at the same time as I
tried to install the uwsgi package; package database may miss the
required entry.
Kind regards
Peter
