Comment (by zooko):

 According to http://tahoe-lafs.org/buildbot/builders/Eugen%20lenny-
 amd64/builds/860/steps/show-tool-versions/logs/stdio , that is
 setuptools-0.6c8 doing that. That is a very old version. Perhaps this is
 one of the bugs that has been fixed between setuptools-0.6c8 and the
 current setuptools-0.6c11 or distribute-0.6.19. We don't see the same bug
 on other builders, that have newer version of setuptools installed.

 I'll ask Eugen in email if he could upgrade the setuptools on there. If
 not, we could try to reproduce this by installing setuptools-0.6c8,
 reproducing this failure, then upgrading setuptools to 0.6c11 or
 distribute-0.6.19 and seeing if the failure goes away.
