Description
Description
On BSD systems, pip warns about being executed as root, even though it is not being executed as root.
For example:
$ id
uid=1000(nathan) gid=1000(nathan) groups=1000(nathan), 0(wheel), 9(wsrc), 21(wobj)
$ pip install youtube-dl --upgrade --user
Requirement already satisfied: youtube-dl in ./.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages (2021.6.6)
WARNING: Running pip as the 'root' user can result in broken permissions and conflicting behaviour with the system package manager. It is recommended to use a virtual environment instead: https://pip.pypa.io/warnings/venvExpected behavior
Only warn about executing pip as root if root is in use.
