Summary
This PR adds system install tests to verify the behavior described in #2798. It turns out this behavior also affects Fedora and Amazon Linux, we just didn't have the right conditions enabled (specifically, you need to create the virtualenv with
python -m venv
to get these symlinks), so the test suite was expanded to capture that.The issue itself is also fixed by way of deduplicating the
site-packages
entries.Closes: #2798
