This is due to a bug in the local distutils configuration of your Linux 
distribution which causes it to select incorrect installation targets 
and does not let you override these choices.  You should report the bug 
to them.

Meanwhile, you can solve the problem by:

  1) Use the platform-supplied packages of Twisted instead of installing 
your own version from source

or

  2) Install Twisted instead of Twisted Core and Twisted Names

These are both good ideas anyway, disregarding your current particular 
installation problem.  If possible, do them both.
