Running fedpkg on Fedora 28

[Mike Miller]

Hello - I am trying to update a package on Fedora 28 but am getting this
error any time I try to run fedpkg:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/fedpkg", line 6, in <module>
    from pkg_resources import load_entry_point

    raise DistributionNotFound(req, requirers)
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'PyYAML' distribution was not found
and is required by rpkg

I have the python2-yaml package installed:
Package python2-pyyaml-3.12-10.fc28.x86_64 is already installed, skipping.

I tried using python3 and modifying the fedpkg script to run with python3
but then I get the following error:
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'fedpkg==1.35' distribution was not
found and is required by the application

I have installed the latest fedpkg, fedpkg-1.35-1.fc28.noarch.  Do I need
to upgrade to 29?  I thought fedpkg would still work on 28.

I'm still on F28 (for another hour or so) and have no problems running
fedpkg.

fedpkg-1.35-1.fc28.noarch
python2-2.7.15-4.fc28.x86_64
python2-rpkg-1.56-2.fc28.noarch
python2-pyyaml-3.12-10.fc28.x86_64

I don't really have much of an idea of what your problem might be.  I
would suggest rpm -V on the relevant packages (and dnf reinstall if
necessary) along with verifying that you're actually running the proper
fedpkg code instead of something you might have installed locally.

The python2-pyyaml package was missing a file, weird.
rpm -V python2-pyyaml-3.12-10.fc28.x86_64
missing     /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/PyYAML-3.12-py2.7.egg-info

Running "dnf reinstall python2-pyyaml-3.12-10.fc28.x86_64" fixed it.
Thanks for the help!

If you ever run 'pip' as root, or something like that, it could
conceivably mess with it.
