Re: how to report bugs? (reportbug broken)
Okay, I couldn't figure out how to change the the order of paths in
`sys.path`, but I went ahead and removed
```
pip3 uninstall pysimplesoap
```
from `~/.local/`. I have no idea what was the difference between my
locally installed version and the system version but reportbug works
now.
Thanks everyone, cheers,
Nico
