I think whats happened is we're seeing fallout from a successful rpm install
using setuptools, and then going back to a build with distutils.core.  Looks
like they handle the egginfo goo quite differently (new way as a directory +
files, old way just as one file).  Then rpm has got confused during upgrading
trying to rename the new dir back to the old file, which is a bit unexpected;
that may even possibly be a corner-case rpm bug there.

Anyway, I have a patch which re-enables the new way, alongside the old way if
it cannot find the needed new-way modules (configure-driven).  It should fix
this because it will prefer the new way (dir) over old (file) & the upgrade
will then succeed.

Ugh, what a mess.  Commit incoming, lemme know how it goes?  Thanks!

cheers.
