Comment 1 for bug 185418

This isn't really a bug in zope.interface. It's a packaging bug of some kind. I've assigned it to the ubuntu zope3 package as it obviously affects that.

The package in ubuntu is built using the Zope3 monolithic tarball (using zpkg!!!). This smells like a bad interaction between setuptools and zpkg in the install.py of that tarball.

One way of side-stepping this bug is to build the python-zopeinterface package directly from it's tarball at http://pypi.python.org/pypi/zope.interface which should sidestep this problem and others like it. i.e. basically split it out of the zope3 package.
