Dear Debian Folks: This problem has been diagnosed by the setuptools folks:
http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/issue17 # easy_install (debian sid version 0.6c8) will install a package that is already there
They suggest that a good work-around for now would be for the python- pkg_resources package or the python-setuptools package to add the following stanza into the system-wide distutils config file:
[easy_install] site-dirs=/var/lib/python-support/python2.5 I've tested this on Ubuntu Hardy and it does indeed fix the problem. Here is the launchpad ticket: https://bugs.launchpad.net/setuptools/+bug/254035 Thanks!
