It looks like there is a problem with setuptools and subversion-1.5. It has been reported on the distutils mailing list (http://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2008-February/008820.html), which includes a patch that seems to work but has not been thoroughly tested. Reproducible: Always
Created an attachment (id=151943) [details] patch posted at Distutils mailing list to support svn-1.5
"Gentoo Bugzilla" is not the correct link to file reports regarding ebuilds, as hinted in red letters..

Why was this changed to severity normal? Setuptools can't install a package checked out with svn-1.5. Seems like a major defect to me.

Not only that we do not speak about a stable keyworded ebuild, there isn't even a stable upstream 1.5 release of Subversion. Living on the bleeding edge is o.k., but doesn't justify any escalation from the bug handling POV.
The patch is included in setuptools-0.6_rc8-r1. Thanks for reporting :)
