I get this error for most/all sub-directories on ./update_nrp update all , not only for CLE.

The pip in my $HOME/.opt/platform_env is already the most up-to-date. And ~/.opt/platform_venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip/req exists

Any ideas?

Thanks

What version of pip are you using?

#3

The pip in my ~/.opt/platform_venv is version 9.0.3 and points to ~/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages

#4

Hm, at least the dev mode still uses pip version 1.4.1. So, what you can do is to temporaily downgrade pip using pip --upgrade pip==1.4.1 and try again.
