Package: python-zope.interface
Version: 3.6.1-0ubuntu4
Severity: normal
the egg of zope.interface states that it needs setuptools.
this gets transformed by /usr/share/python/dist_fallback to python-pkg-
resources
This now leads to pkg_resources.require("zope.interface") to fail:
python -c 'import pkg_resources; print pkg_resources.require("zope.interface")'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 654, in
require
needed = self.resolve(parse_requirements(requirements))
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 552, in
resolve
raise DistributionNotFound(req)
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: distribute
setuptools does not seem to be used by zope so it should be removed from
requires.txt to solve this problem.
This would probably require a debian/control dependency on python-pkg-
resources{,3} which is directly used but has no egg
