This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
I believe that this is a problem that I have hit in Fedora 19 before. pip decides that it needs to update setuptools, and for some reason tries to install distribute (which was replaced by setuptools) and remove setuptools. This happens part of the way through the installation process, and suddenly pkg_resources.py is no longer present. It does not happen in f20. On a side note, if you are still having problems, please install those packages using yum: sudo yum install python-wstool python-rosdep python-rosinstall python-rospkg python-catkin_pkg This will solve YOUR problem, but still doesn't explain what pip is doing wrong...
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
