Description Anders Kaseorg 2011-11-10 07:35:04 UTC 
Description of problem:
The python-flask RPM owns /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/easy-install.pth, which breaks eggs locally installed with easy_install.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.6.1-2.fc15

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use easy_install to install an egg from pypi
2. yum install python-flask

Actual results:
The local egg stops working because /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/easy-install.pth has been clobbered with a bogus version that points to a temporary build directory.

$ rpm -qf /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/easy-install.pth
python-flask-0.6.1-2.fc15.noarch
$ cat /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/easy-install.pth
import sys; sys.__plen = len(sys.path)
/builddir/build/BUILD/Flask-0.6.1
import sys; new=sys.path[sys.__plen:]; del sys.path[sys.__plen:]; p=getattr(sys,'__egginsert',0); sys.path[p:p]=new; sys.__egginsert = p+len(new)

Expected results:
python-flask RPM has no business owning /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/easy-install.pth.  This file should just be removed from the RPM.
