The most recent one was Cheetah, of all things. It causing the easy_install of TurboGears (from SVN) to fail, so I downloaded the tarball and ran "python setup.py install" by hand and it worked. Alas, a few minutes later I discovered that the reference to the Cheetah egg was the only line in easy_install.pth (which previously had at least 50 entries). Now, in all fairness, it may not have been Cheetah that did it. The failed easy_install of TG may have somehow blanked the file and then Cheetah was simply added to the blank file (and that seems a plausible scenario). Cheetah just happens to be the package that the issue revolved around the last time it happened. This has happened maybe three times in the last month or so (unfortunately I don't recall specifics surrounding the other times). Next time it happens I'll take some notes.
