Running into issues with appdirs 1.4.1

Running into issues with appdirs 1.4.1, which appears to have been released today. Am getting the issue below. More details can be found in this log. Issues exist for other Python versions as well.

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/travis/virtualenv/python3.6.0/lib/python3.6/site-packages/appdirs-1.4.1.dist-info/METADATA'

I have a quick work around. The appdirs is a dependency of other third party apps in my project, but I have find out that if I execute the following command:

$ pip install appdirs --upgrade

just before my regular

$ pip install -r requirements.txt --upgrade

It works like a charm. Maybe that will help someone.

P.S. I in the third party app the dependency to appdirs is defined as appdirs>=1.4.0

I am having this issue on 1.4.3 as well. The aforementioned work around doesn’t seem to work for me either.
