[arm-allstar] Installing additional python libraries help - pacman error

[Al Beard]

Hi Matt,

On my Rpi4B here with HamVOIP, I tried: pacman -Sy python-pip
it complained with this preexisting file /usr/bin/easy_install
I renamed it /usr/bin/easy_install2.7 and the install went fine.
It's a python script file for the previous python version (2.7).

RPi2-3-4 Version 1.6-09 downloaded yesterday.

The other bug I found was, no SSH on port 222 login.
Reason: no host key files
Generate with:
        Delete old ssh host keys: rm /etc/ssh/ssh_host_* (if they exist)
	ssh-keygen -q -N "" -t dsa -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key
	ssh-keygen -q -N "" -t rsa -b 4096 -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
	ssh-keygen -q -N "" -t ecdsa -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key
