latest devstack doesn't build on ubuntu 12.04 or centos 6.5

[Aidan Marks]

devstack is currently broken.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Install Ubuntu 12.04 x64 or Centos 6.5 x64.
2) Follow the single machine guide at http://devstack.org/guides/single-machine.html
3) stack.sh fails on both installs with the same error:

It doesn't happen everytime. Can't say about fix but workaround is to remove all instances of pip from /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages. And then try running stack.sh. It will install pip itself.

What I think is it is unable to remove pip on its own that's why it gets stuck over there.

I have meet this problem too,and I revove all instances of pip from /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages.Try running stack.sh ,the problem is resolved.

In the meantime, support for these has been dropped from devstack completely.
