Package: python-setuptools Version: 5.3-1 Severity: important The original bug report is here: https://lists.debian.org/debian-python/2014/06/msg00003.html
In short, a fix that made it into Python 2.7.7 and 3.4.1 changes the behavior of httplib.HTTPConnection's tunneling handling. setuptools is one of the packages affected by this change: it is unusable if one is behind an HTTP proxy, as it tries to connect via HTTPS to https://pypi.python.org/simple/pip/ and fails. I've sent a fix upstream [1] similar to the one done to urllib3 and it was released with version 5.4.1. Please consider updating to it.
