[#1]

Hi Cloudera employees, 

please can somebody have a look at this error, why the new installation fails?

OS: CentOS Linux release 7.5.1804 (Core)

Thanks

[#2]

Was this a local install of CentOS 7.5 from source media, or a VM running in a public cloud?  If it's a cloud VM, can you point to the specific AMI or VM Image that was used?

[#3]

Cloud VM ami-3548444c plus yum -y update

[#4]

I tried the same on a vm provisioned from a similar AMI in a US region and I'm not seeing any errors.  Is this happening consistently, even on new VMs?  

[#5 · Accepted solution]

sudo pip install --upgrade setuptools resolved the issue
