Public bug reported:
I've been trying to install various python packages which require
python-setuptools to install themselves, but their installs fail with an
early message of "Could not import 'setuptools', falling back to
'distutils'.".
I have setuptools installed, but if I try to reinstall it I get:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
python-setuptools is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
4 not fully installed or removed.
After this operation, 0 B of additional disk space will be used.
