I can confirm the bug on a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04.1. Pip user install is severely broken!
Steps to reproduce:
1. install Ubuntu 16.04.1 (I'm in a VM) 2. sudo apt-get install python-pip 3. try some pip install. Even a simple package as termcolor
$ pip install termcolor ... installs $ pip install termcolor ... installs again!
however pip uninstall works ok!
Also, sudo installation is fine: it recognizes the user installed package ! (see attached session log)
