trac: upgrading trac with easy_install fails with “unexpected HTML page found”

Saturday, August 22nd, 2009 by stevie

When installing or upgrading trac on a Debian-like linux machine you might want to use the easy approach of the python setuptools. Trac can be installed or upgraded by using: easy_install http://svn.edgewall.org/repos/trac/branches/0.11-stable Since the release of Subversion 1.5 the version of easy_install included in the Debian repository ran into a compatibility issue.
