[Bug 656946] [NEW] Corrupt eggs in mailman-3.0.0a6.tar.gz

[Phil King]

Public bug reported:

Following up on this thread:
http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-developers%40python.org/msg12023.html

I can reproduce the problem:
[cp ~/local/src/mailman-3.0.0a6] ./bin/buildout
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./bin/buildout", line 17, in <module>
    import zc.buildout.buildout
ImportError: No module named zc.buildout.buildout

The eggs/zc-buildout* directory is missing the *.py files. Similarly,
the z3c.recipe.sphinxdox and zc.recipe.egg.

In the end, I removed the eggs/ directory completely, and got much
further down the road. (I am new to eggs, so I am not sure this is the
best idea.)

Now, installation seems to fail at the logilab-common step.

Let me know what else I can send you in regards to my environment. I am running a fairly fresh Ubuntu-10.04.1 with Python 2.6.
