Have you checked borgbackup docs, FAQ, and open Github issues?

Did not find a discussion of my problem in either of that.

Is this a BUG / ISSUE report or a QUESTION?

QUESTION / BURG

System information. For client/server mode post info for both machines.

Your borg version (borg -V).

Package: borgbackup
Version: 1.1.9-2+deb10u1

Operating system (distribution) and version.

Linux 4.19.0-12-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.152-1 (2020-10-18) x86_64 GNU/Linux

Hardware / network configuration, and filesystems used.

How much data is handled by borg?

Full borg commandline that lead to the problem (leave away excludes and passwords)

All borg commands do not work anymore after executing
$ pip install borg
and
$ pip3 install borg

(I wanted to use the libaries for a python script)

Describe the problem you're observing.

$ which borg
/usr/bin/borg

So, the symlink still exists

no borg commands like "create" "info" "list" work anymore

Can you reproduce the problem?

Yes, no borg commands like "create" "info" "list" work anymore.

Include any warning/errors/backtraces from the system logs

No condorscript.py file was detected in directory

Notes

I think the execution of "pip" broke my borg installation. This can't be intended by the developers. Is this a debian problem with symlink handling? How could I work around this? What code is beeing executed now? What did change? I would like to understand. I like the software borg very much. Thank you in advance.

the package name is borgbackup, not borg.
