tools/drwatson/setup.sh is missing PIP_BREAK_SYSTEM_PACKAGES=1

[pavel-kirienko]

Due to an unfortunate change in recent versions of pip, the configuration scripts are now broken.

For now, in order to make it work, one has to export this variable beforehand:

PIP_BREAK_SYSTEM_PACKAGES=1 ./setup.sh

Alternatively, to fix it once and for all on a given machine, export this variable globally:

echo "export PIP_BREAK_SYSTEM_PACKAGES=1" >> ~/.bashrc

And then restart the CLI session.

@Zentrus FYI

[Zentrus]

the error still persists

[pavel-kirienko]

ah it's because the script invokes pip as root; I will look into that
