Bug report

Bug description:

I'm not sure if this is distribution specific problem or something is broken in the core, so I'm filing it here first. I'm also not sure if it's CPython per se or needs to go into PyPA (pip etc).

Python 3.14.2 (main, Dec 5 2025, 00:00:00) [GCC 15.2.1 20251111 (Red Hat 15.2.1-4)] on linux

>>> pprint.pprint(sysconfig.get_paths("posix_user"))
{'data': '/home/arcivanov/.local',
 'include': '/home/arcivanov/.local/include/python3.14',
 'platlib': '/home/arcivanov/.local/lib/python3.14/site-packages',
 'platstdlib': '/home/arcivanov/.local/lib64/python3.14',
 'purelib': '/home/arcivanov/.local/lib/python3.14/site-packages',
 'scripts': '/home/arcivanov/.local/bin',
 'stdlib': '/home/arcivanov/.local/lib64/python3.14'}
>>> pprint.pprint(sysconfig.get_paths("venv"))
{'data': '/usr',
 'include': '/usr/include/python3.14',
 'platinclude': '/usr/include/python3.14',
 'platlib': '/usr/lib64/python3.14/site-packages',
 'platstdlib': '/usr/lib64/python3.14',
 'purelib': '/usr/lib/python3.14/site-packages',
 'scripts': '/usr/bin',
 'stdlib': '/usr/lib64/python3.14'}
>>> 

Firstly, in the posix_user the platlib goes into lib, whereas in venv everything that isn't pure is going into lib64.

Secondly, in the venv, this doesn't really matter due to there being a symlink from lib64 to lib. However, in the posix_user the lib64 is simply missing from /home/arcivanov/.local/ while being referenced in posix_user schema as something that should exist.

Venv:
