Description Julian Ospald 2013-08-26 00:24:07 UTC

# python2
Python 2.7.5 (default, Aug 24 2013, 15:29:55) 
[GCC 4.8.1] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import pkg_resources
>>> pkg_resources.require("Twisted")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 728, in require
    needed = self.resolve(parse_requirements(requirements))
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 626, in resolve
    raise DistributionNotFound(req)
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: Twisted
>>>


Some applications such as net-fs/tahoe-lafs rely on this function call to work and break in many places if it doesn't. I do not believe this has to be fixed in the application. This is either a distribution problem or upstream messed up their package.

Comment 1 Julian Ospald 2013-08-26 00:27:12 UTC

this is caused by the 13.0.0 13.0.0-r1 bump so I suspect this is an eclass error

Comment 2 Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev

twisted-core-13.0.0 installs two egg-info entries:

Twisted-13.0.0-py2.7.egg-info
Twisted_Core-13.0.0-py2.7.egg-info

The former is created via touch in the ebuild:

touch "${ED}$(python_get_sitedir)/Twisted-${PV}-py$(python_get_version).egg-info"

Comment 3 Julian Ospald 2013-08-26 00:34:57 UTC

satan, so we'll probably need a revbump here
