easy_install failed

[mat_the_green@…]

I tried to install and got the following:

I think I've seen this before.

You need to upgrade setuptools to 0.6c9 or beyond first. This should remove the error.

[Steffen Hoffmann]

Please check the solution in previous comment.

I drop the priority for now, because I see no way to give further assistance and expect this issue to be resolved by now anyway. I'll close this ticket after a reasonable time without feedback, say 6 months, but user comments and independent, more current test reports would help to clear this case earlier.

forgot to reflect new maintainer status

Replying to rjollos:

Thanks for the greatly improved readability of the traceback.

I have tried again and it worked, my python-setuptools is currently 0.6c8-0ubuntu2.

[Steffen Hoffmann]

Thank you for repeated testing and positive feedback.

As a side-note, I wasn't able to install Trac 0.12 or later even with the stock Debian version of python-setuptools (0.6.14-4), but with setuptools-0.6c11 installed from source I succeeded. Just an idea, if you experience similar problems once again.
