New submission from Chris Nehren:

I'm trying to package Clearsilver for OmniOS (illumos derivative). I built it 
incorrectly the first time round (causing a symbol to not be found in the 
python neo_cgi.so) and then fixed it. I fixed and reinstalled the package on 
the target machine but the .egg with the broken neo_cgi.so was still around, 
and wasn't regenerated when I ran the code again. This caused trac to reference 
the old, broken .so in the old, broken .egg, causing it to fail despite it 
having a perfectly serviceable neo_cgi.so right where it knows where to find 
it. 

I would expect make(1)-like logic for regeneration of .egg files so that this 
sort of thing does not happen.

Alternately, if I've misunderstood something, I would be very grateful to 
pointed at tfm so I can read. Thank you!
