[New-bugs-announce] [issue21643] "File exists" error during venv --upgrade

[Virgil Dupras]

New submission from Virgil Dupras:

There seems to have been a regression in Python 3.4.1 with "pyvenv --upgrade", and this regression seems to be caused by #21197.

It now seems impossible to use the "--upgrade" flag without getting a "File exists" error. Steps to reproduce:

$ pyvenv env
$ pyvenv --upgrade env
Error: [Errno 17] File exists: '/<pwd>/env/lib' -> '/<pwd>/env/lib64'
