After installing app-crypt/certbot I encounter an error $ certbot Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python-exec/python3.4/certbot", line 6, in <module> from pkg_resources import load_entry_point File "/usr/lib64/python3.4/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 3030, in <module> @_call_aside File "/usr/lib64/python3.4/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 3014, in _call_aside f(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib64/python3.4/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 3043, in _initialize_master_working_set working_set = WorkingSet._build_master() File "/usr/lib64/python3.4/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 654, in _build_master ws.require(__requires__) File "/usr/lib64/python3.4/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 968, in require needed = self.resolve(parse_requirements(requirements)) File "/usr/lib64/python3.4/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 854, in resolve raise DistributionNotFound(req, requirers) pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'future' distribution was not found and is required by parsedatetime After manual installation of dev-python/future error is gone.
*** Bug 621198 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
bug title is misleading, certbot missing future dependency, parsedatetime perhaps needs that dependency too but i seeing no future requirements (neither build or runtime) in it.

If you're sure that certbot need "future" than you should open issue on upstream. Right now certbot's "setup.py"[1] doesn't specify "future" as requirement. 1. https://github.com/certbot/certbot/blob/master/setup.py
