Fixing python-setuptools in Ubuntu Feisty

Ubuntu recently upgraded its Python distribution from 2.4 to 2.5.
Along the way, setup tools (read easy_install) seems to break itself.

If your python related installs are failing and getting errors like:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
A package failed to install. Trying to recover:
Setting up python-setuptools (0.6c3-1ubuntu4) ...
pycentral: pycentral pkginstall: already exists: /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/setuptools.pth
pycentral pkginstall: already exists: /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/setuptools.pth

Then python-setuptools need to be reinstalled.

sudo apt-get remove python-setuptools
sudo apt-get install python-setuptools

This fixes the dependency issue and you should be able to

easy_install Pylons TurboGears

without getting errors.
