reviewboard-7.0.4 installation error

[Grover D]

Hello,

I have followed the installation directions. I have postgress, memcached and apache running. 

I switched to my python virtual environment and ran:

#  /opt/reviewboard/bin/rb-site install /var/www/reviews.example.com

 Welcome to the Review Board site installation wizard
This will prepare a Review Board site installation in:
/var/www/reviews.example.com

-------------------------

Yes, this is just an installation test. 

After I answer the questions, then I get:

Building site directories ... OK
Building site configuration files ... ERROR: No module named 'pkg_resources'
Creating database ... ERROR: Apps aren't loaded yet.
Creating administrator account ... ERROR: Apps aren't loaded yet.
Saving site settings ... ERROR: Apps aren't loaded yet.
Setting up support ... OK
Finishing the install ... ERROR: Apps aren't loaded yet.

The goal is to simple and instance of ReviewBoard running. 

Any idea of what I am doing wrong?

Thanks!

After doing a lot of poking around and research, the version of setuptools I had installed, 82.0.0, no longer supports packages. I had to downgrade to version 81.0.0 and the installation worked.

Grover,

Glad you figured it out. We've actually been in the middle of trying to sort through this for all our builds, since a ton of stuff out there still needs pkg_resources. Hopefully this situation will improve soon.

David
