Bug Description

Binary package hint: cdbs

Currently the code that converts dist- to site- calls DEB_PYTHON_SETUP_CMD with the wrong --root command. Which means that the following code that does the conversion can't find the installed code.

The end result is errors like the following during pkg install:

tar: /home/mike/Projects/karmic/quodlibet/quodlibet-2.0-3ubuntu1.messy/debian/quodlibet-ext/usr/lib/python?.?/dist-packages: Cannot chdir: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

And you end up with an empty /usr/lib/python?.?/site-packages directory in the resulting .deb.

I found this when building the quodlibet-ext package.

A debdiff and bzr branch is forthcoming.
