We've been building some custom eggs for the lxml trunk and we uploaded the packages to our wiki, which replaced the .'s with -'s. This messed up the filenames, so we added #egg in an effort to correct that:
http://www.openplans.org/projects/opencore/dependencies/lxml-2-0alpha5-py2-4-linux-x86_64.egg#egg=lxml-2.0alpha5-py2.4-linux-x86_64 But it seems that easy_install prefers the base name, not the fragment, and so it parsed this as an lxml 2 egg, with 0alpha5blahblahblah as the platform(?)... I'm not sure exactly how it parsed it, but it got it wrong. It seems like easy_install should prefer fragments over the filename itself, as the fragments will only be there if someone deliberately adds them.
