Public bug reported:
On precise. Package version:
ii python-libvirt 0.9.8-2ubuntu17.20
libvirt Python bindings
Unlike trusty which has egg-info:
/usr/lib/python-2.7/dist-packages/libvirt_python-1.2.2.egg-info
No such file exists with python-libvirt on precise.
This is important as any programs that are packaged so they can be used
by pypi will fail as they will try to use new > 1.0 package versions to
download as they will be unable to detect the local installed package
from the distro:
Here is the output during bootstrap for a program that depends on
libvirt-python without the egg file on precise:

Install goes ok:

libvirt-python 0.9.8 is already the active version in easy-install.pth
This seems like an easy enough fix that it should be added to precise.
Can we get this updated on precise?
If someone doesn't want to spend the time doing a patch I will gladly
build a new package and submit a patch.
