Dulwich uninstallable

[Russel Winder]

Jelmer,

Sorry, but I have to have a rant . . . 

Has anyone ever successfully installed Dulwich?

There was a recent update so it seemed time to upgrade.  I removed all
sign of Dulwich on my 4 Ubuntu machines -- Distutils being incapable of
uninstall.

I then ran:

	sudo make clean
	sudo make install
	sudo make clean

in the Dulwich source for each of the 4 machines.  The installation
process reports success but the resultant stuff put
into /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages does not represent a usable
installation.  Instead I just get:

        bzr: ERROR: Unsupported protocol for url "git+ssh://git@git.codehaus.org/gpars.git": Unable to import library "dulwich": bzr-git: Please install dulwich, https://launchpad.net/dulwich

It seems I have to manual add a symbolic link to make all this work.

        521 dimen:/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages
        |> ln -s dulwich-0.4.2-py2.6-linux-i686.egg/dulwich .

So if make install is not the way of doing an install what the $$$$ is?

And yes I am grumpy, wouldn't you be when given a "make install" you
type "make install" and install is what it doesn't do?
