[Dean Troyer (dtroyer)]

Not an actionable bug report

[Chris Jones (cmsj)]

Marking as confirmed for tripleo because this is causing (at least) seed image builds to fail.

[Clint Byrum (clint-fewbar)]

Looks like we are using 'setup.py develop' directly instead of letting 'pip install .' do its thing.

[Clint Byrum (clint-fewbar)]

Downgrading to High, this is being exposed only because we are accidentally installing these using the system pip due to bug 1266513.

[Robert Collins (lifeless)]

@Clint - so - whats the bug?

[Derek Higgins (derekh)]

Closing for tripleo, this may have been happening at some stage but doesn't seem to be the case anymore
