Do you have any python packages installed under /usr/local? If so, this
could cause breakages as these files are outside the control of the
package manager.
In short, it isn't recommended practise to use pip install with Debian,
except for inside a virtualenv (or similar), as the packages can
conflict with Debian packages - especially after a upgrade.
