Description:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/pip", line 6, in <module>
from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 49, in

from pkg_resources.extern import six

"distribution.".format(**locals())
ImportError: The 'six' package is required; normally this is bundled with this p
ackage so if you get this warning, consult the packager of your distribution.

Now `pip` and `buku` outputs the error above, and `qutebrowser` doesn't open up.

I've reinstalled python-six, python-packaging, python-setuptools, and python itself (without success).

Additional info:
* package version(s)

python-six 1.10.0-3

* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:

I'm not sure exactly but probably right after manually installing `vmware-vcli` following the ArchWikiguide:

It returned:

/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/six.py

Which tells us that six is installed and working fine. I'm not sure what got screwed up, but it's not a packaging bug. You'll need to ask for help on The forums, IRC, or the mailing list.
