OTOH, we're hoping pip will learn how to work better with distro
provided packages.

Title:
pip >= 8.0.0 fails because of egg-info files in python stdlib
Status in python2.7 package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Up-to-date pip might fail because ubuntu ships some egg-info files for
stdlib packages in /usr/lib/python2.7/, but egg-info files are only
for locally installed packages.
How to reproduce with argparse:
$ virtualenv venv
$ . venv/bin/activate
$ pip install -U pip
$ pip install -U argparse
Collecting argparse
Downloading argparse-1.4.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl
Installing collected packages: argparse
Found existing installation: argparse 1.2.1
Detected a distutils installed project ('argparse') which we cannot
uninstall. The metadata provided by distutils does not contain a list of files
which have been installed, so pip does not know which files to uninstall.

Yes, but not for python stdlib. This is Debian/Ubuntu specific (see
debian/rules line 1040). Pip worked around this, but this strange
patching might cause errors again in the future.

no, egg-info files are not only for locally installed packages. almost
every Python module in Ubuntu is shipped with an egg-info file.
** Changed in: python2.7 (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Invalid
