This is on Ubuntu 11.10?

[Jonas Obrist (ojiidotch)]

Yes it is:

also `pip freeze` shows I'm using ubuntuone-couch==0.3.0

[Jonas Obrist (ojiidotch)]

after manually upgrading httplib2 (`sudo pip install httplib2`) which installed 0.6.0 it works for me. Not sure why I had the wrong version in the first place though.

[Michael Terry (mterry)]

Sounds like not a deja-dup bug then. Perhaps at worst a packaging error with ubuntuone-couch not specifying a minimum version of python-httplib2?

[Jonas Obrist (ojiidotch)]

I agree. I unfortunately lost the `pip freeze` output from before, but httplib2.__version__ reported as "$rev$" which isn't too useful. It is somewhat possible that I manually installed a different version, although I wouldn't know why since I use the 'requests' package for all my URL-opening needs in Python.
