 I just hit the same thing and it fried all our Trac sites .. very unpleasant
 Somewhat quicker workaround - edit 
 /usr/local/lib/pythonX.X/easy-install.pth and add the names of all 
 directories under /usr/local/lib/pythonX.X/, that end in .egg
 
 For our setup after update easy-install.pth contains:
 import sys; sys.__plen = len(sys.path)
 ./setuptools-0.6c9-py2.5.egg
 import sys; new=sys.path[sys.__plen:]; del sys.path[sys.__plen:]; 
 p=getattr(sys,'__egginsert',0); sys.path[p:p]=new; sys.__egginsert = 
 p+len(new)
 
 should be:
 import sys; sys.__plen = len(sys.path)
 ./setuptools-0.6c9-py2.5.egg
 ./Trac-0.11.1-py2.5.egg
 ./Genshi-0.5.1-py2.5-freebsd-7.0-STABLE-amd64.egg
 ./Pygments-0.11.1-py2.5.egg
 import sys; new=sys.path[sys.__plen:]; del sys.path[sys.__plen:]; 
 p=getattr(sys,'__egginsert',0); sys.path[p:p]=new; sys.__egginsert = 
 p+len(new)
