Could you tell me if you're using python-numpy or python3-numpy;
former is useless in Blender, nowadays.

Probably you've noticed that with [1] all convenience copies of python
stuff in Blender are disabled.
This could be one of the causes of the issue you faced.

Easy, upstream Blender builds have all those convenience copies I
mentioned above merged in the tarballs provided, that's the fact.

Any reason for this?

Cheers.
