Fixed In Version:	abrt-2.0.8-16.el6_4.1	Doc Type:	Bug Fix
Doc Text:	* Previously, attempts to create a Python virtualenv environment using the "--system-site-packages" option resulted in an exception when the site.py() function attempted to load the abrt_exception_handler package. This was caused because Python tried to load the abrt.pth file, in which the abrt_exception_handler module was imported. Since the abrt_exception_handler module was installed under the /usr/lib64 directory and the abrt.pth file was installed under the /usr/lib directory, the site.py() function did not find the required module. This update moves the abrt.pth file to the architecture specific folder, so on 32-bit systems to the /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ directory and on 64-bit systems to the /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/ directory, which corrects this issue.

Verified that the abrt.pth file is placed in the proper location, but unable to reproduce => SanityOnly
