I've upgraded pip with: $ python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
I then checked out what is actually installed on my Leap 15.2 system:
$ python3 --version Python 3.6.12
$ pip3 --version pip 21.2.4 from /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pip (python 3.6)
That looks bad. Despite your prompt saying, that you executed `python3 -m pip install ...` as normal user, you were able to overwrite files in the system sitelib.
So result is apparently that python3-pip in version 10.0.1 systemwide, and pip3 is installed locally.
No, the system-wide pip 10.0.1 was overwritten by the manual pip install. Of course rpm does not know about this yet. Never use pip as root. Ben
