Arch Linux

Description:

python2-backports.entry-points-selectable is missing the correct version in the python package. The current package version is 1.1.0-1 but the python package version is 0.0.0. This breaks all package which depend on this package like for instance python2-virtualenv: "pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'backports.entry_points_selectable>=1.0.4' distribution was not found and is required by virtualenv"


Additional info:
* package name: python2-backports.entry-points-selectable
* package version: 1.1.0-1

$ pacman -Qi python2-backports.entry-points-selectable

As you can see the package itself already uses the wrong directory name: backports.entry_points_selectable-0.0.0. It seems there is no version in the setup.cfg itself in the source. One workaround which seems to work for me is to specify the version manually:
