[PATCH 0/2] python: fix python-minreqs test failure et al

The tox test is still broken because our use of avocado uses
pkg_resources, it will have to be removed but in a separate
series. Let's get the core tests green first and then worry about deeper
surgeries later.

Applying this series locally fixes the "No module named 'pkg_resources'"
error, but instead I get:

Applying only patch 2 and not patch 1 avoids this and allows
check-functional to work.

Tch, I see what happened. Happened to not run into it in local testing
because I have more packages than you!

Thanks, apologies for the fuss.
