I tried the apt-get path but it tells me that numpy and scipy is installed
therefore I cant reinstall it.

I dont seem to have /usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages but instead only
have a /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages.

I checked out the minpack.py in the dist-packages folder
(/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages) and found that it did have a
reference to curve_fit, but when I checked /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages
and the minpack.py did not have a reference to curve_fit.
