youtube-dl fails on arch when installed from pacman

[phihag]

Issue report from IRC:

youtube-dl's main (on current arch, installed with pacman) fails with

File "/usr/bin/youtube-dl", line 5, in <module>
    from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
ImportError: No module named 'pkg_resources'

Fixed in youtube-dl-2013.10.30-1 (missing package dependency).

This issue has come back, and this time sudo pacman -Sy python-setuptools doesn't help.

@chanibal open a new issue, but note that if you are using the version provided by pacman you should first contact its maintainers to make sure it isn't a problem in their package (or check if you can reproduce it with the packages from https://yt-dl.org/ or the git repo).

@jaimeMF you're right, downloading from yt-dl.org worked. I'll add the issue to the arch guys.
