Are there any news on this?

Just ran into the problem again as I somehow ended up with a setuptools.egg-lnk in develop-eggs. python bootstrap.py did not pick that one up and therefore no site-packages was listed in bin/buildout. However, the buildout.cfg referenced develop-eggs, found setuptools and listed site-packages in ./bin/instance and many more.

The solution seems to be very easy: don't search setuptools anywhere, just get it, put it in eggs/ and use it.
Or does anybody see problems with that procedure?o

Interestingly, the problem also persists when using ./bin/python from virtualenv --no-site-packages . run inside the buildout directory.
