Bug#882229: Missing .egg-info in python-libvmdk and python3-libvmdk

[Dimitris Aragiorgis]

Package: python-libvmdk
Version: 20160119-3+b1
Severity: important
Tags: patch


The Python packages generated from libvmdk do not ship any .egg-info
and as a result other packages cannot use the libvmdk-python dependency
in their setup.py.

  ....
    from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 3019, in <module>
    @_call_aside
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 3003, in _call_aside
    f(*args, **kwargs)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 3032, in _initialize_master_working_set
    working_set = WorkingSet._build_master()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 655, in _build_master
    ws.require(__requires__)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 963, in require
    needed = self.resolve(parse_requirements(requirements))
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 849, in resolve
    raise DistributionNotFound(req, requirers)
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'libvmdk-python' distribution was not found and is required by ....

Note that when the package gets installed via pip it works as expected.

The attached patch simply runs `python setup.py install ...` after
`make install` to let distutils generate and install the corresponding
.egg-info properly.
