The problem is that you installed Jinja2 via pip.  This is not
recommended and should be avoided.  Packages installed via pip takes
precedence over system packages.  You should uninstall Jinja2 2.11.3
using pip.

In other words, your /usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages should contain
only files known to pkg.  In ideal world the
/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages directory should be (almost) empty, but
it is currently not (yet).  If you need some Python package not provided
by OI pkg repo, please let me know and I'll try to package it.

Please also make sure that 'pip3.9 list --user' output is empty.

In short, running 'pip install' is unsupported and discouraged.
