Issues with egg-info switching between directory and file

[Orion Poplawski]

I've noticed a few times now where a python package unexpectedly produces an egg-info file instead of a directory. This is particularly troubling in light of rpm's inability to replace a directory with a file:

running install_egg_info

This seems to come about in the case of a project using distutils with incorrect options: Writing /builddir/build/BUILDROOT/python-pkgconfig-1.5.1-1.fc31.x86_64/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pkgconfig-1.5.1-py3.7.egg-info /usr/lib64/python3.7/distutils/dist.py:274: UserWarning: Unknown distribution option: 'python_requires' In the case of pkgconfig, this appears to be coming about due to the use of "poetry" which seems to incorrectly be using distutils instead of setuptools: In any case - please be careful with changing egg-info format - and do use ....egg-info/ in your specs to ensure that the format is a directory as expected.
