According to http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/issue17 the bug is "that easy_install does NOT search sys.path for a requirement that is specified on the command line; it only searches "site" directories for such".
Therefore, any package which has a .egg-info which is not in the "site" directories is probably affected. Fortunately all such packages can be fixed at once by adding the above- mentioned site-dirs config to the system-wide distutils config file. -- easy_install will install a package that is already there https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/254035 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
