Yes, the missing egg is causing the problem. ez_setup.py doesn't seem to use a tarball fallback (I'm not sure why). Phillip - can there either be a 2.6 egg uploaded, or have ez_setup.py install the tarball when the egg is missing?

Any news on this front? 2.6 is out but virtualenv is still broken because it can't fallback to the tarball. Thanks! Brett
