This is happening to me since the recent switch from Python 3.4 to 3.5. * python3_5: running distutils-r1_run_phase distutils-r1_python_compile /usr/bin/python3.5 setup.py build Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 8, in <module> from distutils.core.command.install import install ImportError: No module named 'distutils.core.command'; 'distutils.core' is not a package Perhaps this is a case of Bug 515060?
The reason I put this as ‘major’ is because this problem currently holds back all updates to my system: with the move from Python 3.4 to 3.5 recently, there are lots of packages that need to be rebuilt, but they won't because this one messes up portage in some way. I am currently in apparently insurmountable blocker hell. Please take this serious.
