Hi Tarek, here's what I've tested.

Running virtualenv 1.4.5 with --setuptools (i.e. not running
distribute), after 'apt-get install simplejson', easy_install simplejson
will not download the package from Cheeseshop.  With --distribute, it
will download simplejson.

I built a package of 1.4.9 from Debian testing and installed it on a
Maverick system.  After setting up a virtualenv with --setuptools,
easy_install simplejson will still not download it from Cheeseshop when
it's been installed via apt-get.  However, even with virtualenv 1.4.9,
when called with --distribute, it will download simplejson from
Cheeseshop.  I can't tell where there's any difference in behavior
between virtualenv 1.4.5 and 1.4.9 when run with --setuptools or
--distribute.

So I'm not sure whether this bug is actually fixed in 1.4.9 or not.
Therefore I'm going to move this to milestone 10.04.2, and I await your
feedback.

** Changed in: python-setuptools (Ubuntu)
    Milestone: ubuntu-10.04.1 => ubuntu-10.04.2

** Changed in: python-setuptools (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Confirmed
