Which dir ? /opt/apps/ansible ?  
I remove it entirely and clone it again.

This morning have discovered something: when I run “ansible --version” just after “source ./hacking/env-setup” command, it works well (I have the correct output).  
But when I copy the new PATH, PYTHONPATH and MANPATH to a profile and re-login it doesn’t work.
