Hello,

I installed LLDB using "sudo apt-get install lldb-9" and "lldb-9 -python-path"
returns an incorrect path (does not exist). It returns
"/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/python3.6/site-packages".

Because of that issue, I was unable to use DExTer
([https://github.com/SNSystems/dexter](https://github.com/SNSystems/dexter)) with that build of LLDB since it relies
on the output of "lldb -P" to find LLDB's Python package.

I tried building LLDB myself to see if the issue occured, but that build
correctly returns "/home/(current user)/lldb/lib/python2.7/dist-packages". (So
after adding my "build/bin" folder to my PATH, I was able to run DExTer)

This happened on my machine running Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS. I also think that this
happens on pretty much any version of LLDB installed using apt-get.

Kind regards,
Pierre van Houtryve

There's been a bunch of python changes since 9.0, and I believe this particular
problem should be fixed in newer versions. 9.0 is not getting any new releases,
so we can't do anything about that version. If you can reproduce this on newer
versions (particularly 10.0, which is at the rc stage now), then please reopen
this bug.

Comment # 2 on bug 44864 from Wolfgang Hänsch

Hello,
I have the same problem with "lldb-12 --python-path". 
It returns "/usr/lib/lib/python3/dist-packages". I found the package at
"/usr/lib/llvm-12/lib/python3/dist-packages".

lldb version 12.0.1
Linux 5.8.0-53-generic #60~20.04.1-Ubuntu SMP 

Best regards
Wolfgang
