I would describe it as "broken", since you should be able to upgrade 
directly with ez_setup.py.  I would appreciate it if you could verify the 
fixes I just checked in, by removing the setuptools development eggs for 
41761 and later versions, then using ez_setup.py to reinstall the dev 
version while the older setuptools is in use.


>i fix that with this patch:

That fix isn't quite correct, at least not for Python 2.3, but I've added 
something similar now.  So, both problems should now be fixed in SVN.
