I tried to install ipdb on a system without setuptools merged, it failed. I emerged setuptools then ipdb and everything worked. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge dev-python/ipdb 2. Error 3. emerge dev-python/setuptools && emerge dev-python/ipdb 4. Success Actual Results: Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 1, in <module> from setuptools import setup, find_packages ImportError: No module named setuptools * * ERROR: dev-python/ipdb-0.1_p1716 failed. * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 48: Called src_compile * environment, line 2575: Called distutils_src_compile * environment, line 728: Called die * The specific snippet of code: * ${python} setup.py build "$@" || die "compilation failed" * The die message: * compilation failed * * If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant. * A complete build log is located at '/tmp/portage/dev-python/ipdb-0.1_p1716/temp/build.log'. * The ebuild environment file is located at '/tmp/portage/dev-python/ipdb-0.1_p1716/temp/environment'. Expected Results: ipdb should emerge without the error; it should pull in setuptools as a dependency.
emerge --info please.
