[arch-general] [bug] python-setuptools 1:19.3-1 breaks youtube-dl
Since there is no section in the bugtracker for [community] packages, and the maintainer was not in #archlinux, it seemed that this was the best place for this. python-setuptools 1:19.3-1 breaks youtube-dl. Steps to reproduce: Update python-setuptools to 1:19.3-1 and use youtube-dl. Output: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/youtube-dl", line 5, in <module> from pkg_resources import load_entry_point File "/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 48, in <module> from pkg_resources.extern import six File "/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pkg_resources/extern/__init__.py", line 60, in load_module "distribution.".format(**locals()) ImportError: The 'six' package is required; normally this is bundled with this package so if you get this warning, consult the packager of your distribution. Workaround: Downgrade python-setuptools to version 1:19.2-1. I am not familiar enough with youtube-dl to propose a solution, but it would seem a simple rebuild would be sufficient.

There is a section for [community] packages. You can even find a "Add New Bug" link right on the package page [1].

It's a packaging issue in latest setuptools package. I overlooked the 'six' dependency because it was brought into the build environment by check-time dependency 'mock'. Now fixed with python-setuptools 1:19.3-2. [1] https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/any/youtube-dl/ -- Regards, Felix Yan

Ah, thank you. I was under the "Arch Linux" view on bugs.archlinux.org, so I only saw Packages: for [core], [extra], and [testing]. Thank you for the followup.
