Comment (by davidsarah):

 Replying to [ticket:1326 zooko]:
 > David-Sarah [http://tahoe-lafs.org/pipermail/tahoe-
 dev/2011-January/005867.html proposed] a different approach, in which
 {{{python setup.py build}}} would build a local private copy of
 {{{foolscap >= 0.6.0}}} even if the system already have
 {{{foolscap-0.5.1}}} installed.

 There must be some confusion -- this is what trunk ''already'' does.

 If having an installed foolscap-0.5.1 breaks the ability to build a
 private foolscap 0.6.0 in {{{support/.../site-packages}}}, that's a bug.
 It works fine for me, and on the buildbots, many of which have foolscap
 0.5.1 installed.

 (Potentially #1258 could cause such breakage, but only if the installed
 foolscap is in a directory shared with other packages that are Tahoe
 dependencies. If this causes an incorrect version to be found,
 [source:ticket1306/src/allmydata/__init__.py at 4963#L163
 check_all_requirements] on the ticket1306 branch will tell you to remove
 the incorrect version from the shared directory.)
