+ AFFECTS: Users of Python and pkg >= 1.2.7_1
+ AUTHOR: koobs@FreeBSD.org
+
+ There have been reports of the following error when upgrading Python ports:
+
+ pkg-static: Plist error, directory listed as a file: <name>.egg-info
+
+ The cause is an outdated or unpatched version of setuptools or distribute
+ installed by the user, or leftover from previous upgrades being used during
+ the `setup.py install` phase. pkg >= 1.2.7_1 now generates an error where
+ previously it did not.
+
+ Users should inspect their ${LOCALBASE}/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages
+ directory, and remove any entries that reference versions of
+ setuptools or distribute *not* provided by ports or packages.
+
+ Examples of entries that may be removed are:
+
+ 1) distribute-0.6.35-py2.7.egg
+ 2) setuptools-0.6c11-py2.7.egg
+ 3) *Any* version of setuptools directly from PyPi via pip or easy_install
+
