Package: dput
Version: 0.10.3
Severity: normal
Hi,
I tried to run dput today in my sid VM, and it gave the following error:
bab@sid-amd64:~/debian$ dput ftp-master regina-normal_4.96-4_amd64.changes
Traceback (most recent call last):

pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'setuptools' distribution was not found
and is required by dput
After installing python-setuptools, dput worked properly.
I'm not sure whether the python-setuptools dependency belongs in dput or in
pkg_resources (which currently declares python-setuptools as a mere Suggests:),
but it appears that dput cannot run without it.
Regards - Ben.
