Comment 3 for bug 503301

I couldn't reproduce this error with custom built Python. But as you mentioned, I cannot see the step for creating .egg-info directory from PasteScripts's command-line output.

I have reported this issue here: http://trac.pythonpaste.org/pythonpaste/ticket/404

As a work around I have fixed by adding an empty "PKG-INFO" file and made a new release. As I couldn't reproduce the error properly, I will wait for somebody else to verify this fix, until then, we will keep this bug opened.
