 Being just bitten by this again, I see it is not fixed yet.
 
 A plain
 
 cd /usr/local/lib/pythonX.X/
 awk '\!/setuptools/ {print $0}; /setuptools/ { system("ls -ld *.egg | 
 awk '"'"'{ print \"./\"$9 }'"'"'") }' easy-install.pth > temp_file
 mv temp_file easy-install.pth
 
 does the job, but I think the proper solution for the port would be to 
 simply copy the easy-install.pth file before updating and restore it 
 afterwards, because if you have installed some .egg's by some other 
 means, you will be doubling their declarations by generating the file in 
 this way.
 
 
 I can't expect that I will remember to copy the file next time we have 
 setuptools update, so I thought - prepare yourself, save the awk script 
 in the PR. Seems I remembered the place, not the details anyway.
