Getting IndexError: list index out of range when trying to install Trac 0.13 on OSX

[benjamin.a.lau@…]

When I try to install try (either via easy_install or from sources) I'm getting the error below.

I think I've managed to track down the root cause of the problem, but I'm unsure of how to go about fixing it. I think the problem here is that newer versions of SVN (I've got 1.7.4 installed on my machine) have some sort of new format and setuptools doesn't know how to deal with it. (I'm running through a debugging scenario while I write this…)

So I tried with a copy of svn 1.6 that I had on my machine as well… and it doesn't have this problem. It looks like the entire format of the .svn/entries field has been changed for 1.7 and that setup tools will need to be modified to know about this. It seems like ​other people have also been having this issue, but it can't be super widespread or there'd would be a ticket for this already I suspect.

Error:
