[issue14002] distutils2 fails to install a package from PyPI on Python 2.7.2

They’re logging messages, not errors.  They appear because distutils2 scans sys.path for egg-info and egg files/dirs and reports invalid versions (per PEP 386).  Can you report a bug about them?  We do want a warning or an error when someone puts an invalid version in their setup.cfg, but when we’re scanning installed distributions it’s useless to warn.

> The final one looks like a bug in distutils2
I can reproduce it on Debian.  A test should not be hard to add, adding the “easy” keyword.
