py27-virtualenv in base64 behaves like it thinks it's multiarch

[bahamat]

Trying to use py27-virtualenv in a base-64-lts@16.4.1 image, generating a virtualenv has the following errors:

• IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/opt/local/bin/i86/python2.7'
• IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/opt/local/bin/amd64/python2.7'

After creating symlinks from i86 and amd64 in /opt/local/bin to itself it works.

Sorry about that, I've fixed this in 2016Q4, however you'll need to remove the package and re-install it, as it's still the same release version as trunk so we can't bump the revision.

I'm seeing this in 17.1.0 base-64

[jperkin]

Yeh, it was fixed in trunk and backported to 2016Q4, I didn't backport it to 2017Q1 though. I'll do this today.

[oddsignals]

Fantastic, thanks!

This should now be available, run pkg_add -U py27-virtualenv to install a fixed package.
