[GNC-dev] Fwd: Testing python

[Geert Janssens]

Hi,

I presume you are building from git. What commit are you building from ? There was an issue 
with detecting uninstalled builds that got fix right after the 3.10 release. So you'd need a very 
recent checkout to have this fix. This bug may be causing the symptoms you experience.

Regards,

Geert
