I just spent an hour trying to decipher this error message from plywood, a
latex package which I installed after upgrading:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/plywood", line 5, in <module>
from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
ImportError: No module named pkg_resources
Turns out the culprit (I hope the sole culprit) was the lack of
fancyheadings.sty. At the very least, maybe a link to fancyhdr so that
this doesn't break outdated packages? Please, latex is not used by
people with the time to go re-engineering packages that do their job
perfectly well. That's what makes latex good. I don't want to have to
think about fancyheadings vs fancyhdr when all I want to do is print out
a draft of something that probably won't be published anyway.
I'm certain that I'm not the last person who will have a few hours of
headaches over a problem that could be simply fixed by leaving the
package as it was.
