bifrost gate job failing due to python-pip install

[Julia Kreger]

Looks like the logical thing to do is to remove the python-pip package. Seems unnecessary to have in the mix since we auto-install it and we install the requirements file which should upgrade it.

Do you mean remove the package or remove it from the list of things we install via package manager? If its the latter, totally agreed

Fixed in change If96f0a8705bfd5039bf9661e26f5b230875a1477.

Peter, it was from the list installed by the package manager, since it was already installed, it was a redundant operation and breaking due to dependencies.
