For the completion of the test case, could you please tell us the name
of a package you tried to install with pypi which failed?
** Description changed:
+ =========================================
+ SRU Justification
+ 1. Impact: python-libvirt doesn't work with pypi
+ 2. Test case: see below
+ 3. Regression potential: this just adds an egg-info file under
/usr/lib/python-2.7. It should not regress in any way.
+ =========================================
+
+
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:

After manually creating the egg-info file which is a very simple file:
$ cat /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/libvirt_python-0.9.8.egg-info
Metadata-Version: 1.0

Install goes ok:
Using /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages
Searching for libvirt-python==0.9.8
Best match: libvirt-python 0.9.8
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.
