            alt="Under a GNU LGPL v.3 or Creative Commons BY-SA 3.0 license.

That text must not be in ALT (which would mean it can be a substitute for the icon), but maybe in TITLE. For me, it affected copying the text.

Hello,

Encountered this problem while installing mediaglobin 0.9.0 on a Debian Jessie Server, Python 2.7.9, Apache2. Followed the official deploying guide ( ​http://mediagoblin.readthedocs.io/en/stable/siteadmin/deploying.html ). Problems occurs during the "./bootstrap.sh && ./configure && make" step, more precisely during the "make", even more precisely during the "./bin/python setup.py develop --upgrade" step of the make (last command being the only way to reproduce the bug after initial make) ...

Here's a snippet of the error :

I tried to update setuptools (installing and) using pip. But it has no real effect ... Instead of searching and matching version 33.1.1 of setuptools it goes for the version 35.0.2. But that's about it, the error remains the same.
