[Python-modules-team] Bug#633610: python-pip: pip cannot uninstall packages

[Warren Torrance]

Package: python-pip
Version: 0.7.2-1
Severity: important
Tags: d-i


The "pip" suite generated by the python-pip package fails to take any action
upon issuing a "pip uninstall $package". Appears to be similar/related to
#562544 - same behavior. 

If you install the python-setuptools package, then run "easy_install pip", this
behaviour is not present.
