I accidentally typed alternatives --install /user/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip pip /opt/anaconda/bin/pip instead of alternatives --install /usr/[...] .
Now I can't set it to anything else, or I get the error:
failed to read link /user/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip pip /opt/anaconda/bin/pip: no such file or directory
the primary link for pip must be /user/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip
I get basically the same message when I try alternatives --remove pip /user/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip
How can I fix this?
