Actually, rospkg should not be installed using easy_install or pip anymore. It is now provided by the Debian package python-rospkg which is probably already installed on your system since it is a dependency of ros. Just get rid of /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/rospkg and the corresponding egg file if present.

Edit: I've investigated the issue a little more and it turns out that rospkg is installed when rosdep is installed according to the install instructions using easy_install or pip in /usr/local. So what I guess happened was that people installed ROS correctly in the first place, then came the breaking ROS update without any message that it's now necessary to also update rosdep/rospkg.

So the correct solution, at least for now, is probably to update rospkg by hand using pip or easy_install. I hope this will be fixed soon.
