Description of problem: After I install python-dap (http://pydap.org/), using a rpm I locally build, with the usual: %build %{__python} setup.py build %install rm -rf %{buildroot} %{__python} setup.py install --single-version-externally-managed -O1 --skip-build --root %{buildroot} setuptools traceback, for example when rebuilding setuptools itself: + /usr/bin/python setup.py build Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 12, in <module> from setuptools import setup, find_packages File "/home/dumas/src/fe-cvs/python-setuptools/devel/setuptools-0.6c5/setuptools/__init__.py", line 2, in <module> from setuptools.extension import Extension, Library File "/home/dumas/src/fe-cvs/python-setuptools/devel/setuptools-0.6c5/setuptools/extension.py", line 2, in <module> from dist import _get_unpatched File "/home/dumas/src/fe-cvs/python-setuptools/devel/setuptools-0.6c5/setuptools/dist.py", line 6, in <module> from setuptools.command.sdist import sdist File "/home/dumas/src/fe-cvs/python-setuptools/devel/setuptools-0.6c5/setuptools/command/sdist.py", line 3, in <module> import os, re, sys, pkg_resources File "/home/dumas/src/fe-cvs/python-setuptools/devel/setuptools-0.6c5/pkg_resources.py", line 2499, in <module> add_activation_listener(lambda dist: dist.activate()) File "/home/dumas/src/fe-cvs/python-setuptools/devel/setuptools-0.6c5/pkg_resources.py", line 599, in subscribe callback(dist) File "/home/dumas/src/fe-cvs/python-setuptools/devel/setuptools-0.6c5/pkg_resources.py", line 2499, in <lambda> add_activation_listener(lambda dist: dist.activate()) File "/home/dumas/src/fe-cvs/python-setuptools/devel/setuptools-0.6c5/pkg_resources.py", line 2048, in activate map(declare_namespace, self._get_metadata('namespace_packages.txt')) File "/home/dumas/src/fe-cvs/python-setuptools/devel/setuptools-0.6c5/pkg_resources.py", line 1653, in declare_namespace __import__(parent) ImportError: No module named dap paster also traceback with a similar message. I found that on the web: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2006-March/006177.html Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): setuptools-0.6c3-1.1 I get the same when rebuilding with setuptools-0.6c5 As a side note, it could be relevant to update python-setuptools to that version.

Re: updated version: there's a number of bugs in 0.6c4 and 0.6c5. I'm waiting for the promised 0.6c6 that fixes them. I'll try to grok the other issue some time this week.
This issue is still in python-setuptools-0.6c7-2.fc8 in rawhide.
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This is fixed with pydap 2.2.6 and in rawhide, though I don't know what fixed it.
