Tried rebooting & made sure all the updates were already installed. No luck.

The problem is somewhere between the pip on your system and the one you are trying to update to.

Maybe try uninstalling and installing it again on your own.

I am not an expert, so please search a bit more, and see what the issue may be. I think I have given you a head start here, and my knowledge ends here. MAKE BACKUPS BEFORE DOING ANYTHING ELSE.

Edit: actually, looks like re-installing just pip works. I used apt-get remove python-pip then easy_install pip & it seems to have allowed the upgrade again. Googling around it looks like a deprecated request problem?

Anyway, seems to be fixed now so thanks for that!
