Bug 279038 – dev-python/docutils-0.4-r3 missing depend on setuptools

• Status: VERIFIED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Tymoteusz Paul 2009-07-25 12:32:35 UTC]

When i've tried to install docutils (via emerge docutils) emerge will crash because setuptools are not installed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. make sure that you've unmerged setuptools and docutils
2. try to emerge docutils
Actual Results:  
Error complaining about lack of docutils

Expected Results:  
It should install docutils and required dependency (setuptools in this case)

Emm i've made a "typo" there, actualy result should be: Error complaining about lack of setuptools.

# grep ^DEPEND= dev-python/docutils/docutils-0.4-r3.ebuild
DEPEND="dev-python/setuptools"

I got the same result from grep on my local machine as you, but still for some reason docutils is not installing setuptools.

Maybe your dev-python/setuptools is broken or it's installed for different Python version.

Reinstall dev-python/setuptools.
If you recently switched Python version, run python-updater.
