Plone 4.3 AssertionError Running Buildout

We recently got a new Linux machine that got re-imaged from our older machine where our current plone installation resides. I am trying to run buildout on the new machine but I am getting this AssertionError on our plonetheme src product. 

Installing 'buildout.dumppickedversions', 'buildout.sanitycheck'.
We have the distribution that satisfies 'buildout.dumppickedversions==0.5'.
Picked: buildout.sanitycheck = 1.0b1

Our Product's init.py script contains the following:

# See http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/setuptools#namespace-packages
try:
    __import__('pkg_resources').declare_namespace(__name__)
except ImportError:
    from pkgutil import extend_path
    __path__ = extend_path(__path__, __name__)

I've seen a similar error reported here but the answer provided does not apply to our case. We have other products in src but this is the only one causing problems.

Can someone please help us with this error?

Check the setup.py file in your theme package. You'll likely find:

# The next two lines may be deleted after you no longer need
# addcontent support from paster and before you distribute
# your package.
setup_requires=["PasteScript"],
paster_plugins = ["ZopeSkel"],

Remove those lines. They are included in the generated template for your package so that you may use Zopeskel local commands to add new functionality. You don't need it after development, and it's often a source of problems later.

The alternative solution, as mentioned in the comments, is to make sure you have the right egg in your local buildout cache. But why have old development packages sitting around on a live site?
