Yes, you're right. I thought about that after I posted. Before installing from the repo I renamed the following file and directories
Code:
/usr/local/bin/sigil
/usr/local/lib/sigil
/usr/local/share/sigil
but I forgot to delete sigil's preferences directory, ~/.local/share/sigil-ebook. So that's why the plugins and paths were already filled in.

Just now I uninstalled (apt-get purge sigil), deleted the preferences directory, and re-installed (apt-get install sigil). Then, I did have to click "auto" to fill in the python paths, and install the plugin again (testplugin). When I tried to run it, however, I got the same result as before. Maybe I missed some other sigil files / directories somewhere?

Oh well. I've run out of time for today.
