UPDATE:
I have discovered that the PKGBUILD in the mythtv-git AUR does not include
the dependency python-pip or python-wheel. My script to install
dependencies prior to a build from source run does have those
dependencies. That's why my build from source makes find_orphans.py work
and the AUR install doesn't. I'm confirming this again on a fresh VM.
