From Chris Webber I learned that performing the following command and then re-running the setup fixes this problem.

./bin/pip install pbr==0.5.22

Hopefully the normal build process will be fixed in the near future.

This still isn't fixed I think, but haven't tested it recently. I believe Asheesh Laroia got a patch upstream(?) that fixes the issue in pbr. Not sure when that will be resolved.

I'm still not sure why one of our dependencies is including pbr though... looks like some odd monkeypatching...

I tried switching the dependency to pbr==0.5.22 in mediagoblin's setup.py but it broke our Jenkins install.. not sure what to do.

I renamed the title of this one to "pbr is breaking things", because that's more accurate than the makefile issue.

This effects us as sqlalchemy-migrate now uses pbr. The current solution is the pin the sqlalchemy-migrate package at a pre-pbr version. Since berker is working on #814 moving from sqlalchemy-migrate to alembic, it'd is probably easiest to wait until we've moved over and then this shouldn't be an issue as we won't need pbr.

Things seem to be fine now, for whatever reasons in recentish changes in dependencies.
