==  Can't extract file(s) to egg cache ==

email2trac/run_email2trac fails with the above message. The utilities mostly run under a different user then the trac installation. So you must the PYTHON_EGG_CACHE environment variable to a directory that is writeable by both users, eg:
 * `/var/tmp`

run_email2trac:
  * `run_email2trac --eggcache /var/tmp`

email2trac:
  * email2trac.conf: `python_egg_cache : /var/tmp`

== ImportError: No module named pdb ==

This error does not occur on debian packages. `pdb.py` is include in the standard python package. For rpm systems you have to install `python-devel-tools`.
