Hey Barry, I could reproduce it with this recipe from the distribute bug report
$ sudo apt-get install python-virtualenv python-twisted <-- you get twisted installed (try "import twisted") $ virtualenv /tmp/xxx $ cd /tmp/xxx $ easy_install twisted # downloads twisted, it shouldn't If I install manually virtualenv 1.4.9 instead of using ubuntu virtualenv (1.4.5), and I make sure to install setuptools instead of distribute, then it works as expected (i.e. creating a virtualenv and easy_installing twisted just register from the ubuntu twisted, nothing is downloaded). Once the patch is applied, it should not be the case anymore. I'd be more confident if you can reproduce the issue on your side before we do the releases Cheers -- easy_install will install a package that is already there https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/601040 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
