Description

Hello,
Why are the addons modules copied to two locations in the Odoo 19 image? This was not the case with earlier images.

Is there a reason for the presence of the /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/addons directory in addition to /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/odoo/addons?

Research direction

Start by inspecting the Odoo 19 image build configuration and the resulting /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/addons and /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/odoo/addons paths. Compare the image layout with earlier image versions to determine whether the duplicate community addons directory is intentional. Done means establishing the expected single location or documenting why both locations are required, with the image behavior matching that decision.
