If you look at version of the egg you installed, it's "0.4.2.dev_r0".  
That compares as less-than 0.4.2.

Apparently there's a problem with the way the source release of  
bdist_mpkg was tagged. I'll upload another one later on in the week,  
or you can fix it yourself by removing the setup.cfg before  
installing bdist_mpkg (though it's entirely likely that other  
dependencies will also have the same issue).
