pip reports wrong installed version when updating youtube-dl

[clampak]

I don't know if this is a pip or a youtube-dl issue, but the last thing that pip reports is that it has installed the version that it just uninstalled.

$ pip install -U youtube-dl

I have downloaded the wheel and it seems to be fine. Have you miscopied the output?, https://pypi.python.org/packages/2.7/y/youtube_dl/youtube_dl-2015.02.02py2.py3-none-any.whl#md5=3a383cc3717ede90ef59ca79529ce382 gives me a 404 error not found (https://pypi.python.org/packages/2.7/y/youtube_dl/youtube_dl-2015.02.02-py2.py3-none-any.whl#md5=3a383cc3717ede90ef59ca79529ce382 seems to be the correct one).

I did miscopy the output, you're right. Must've hit the backspace or something while formatting it. Still, just tried it again and got the same:

$ pip install -U youtube-dl

$ youtube-dl --version

So is it a pip issue?

I guess, I have installed youtube-dl 2015.1.16, then I run pip install -U youtube-dl and it prints Successfully installed youtube-dl-2015.2.3.1. (I'm using pip 6.0.7)

[clampak]

I don't know what happened, but I updated pip (6.0.6 -> 6.0.7) and successively ran pip install -U youtube-dl --no-cache-dir 3 times in a row. All 3 times it gave me this:

Downloading youtube_dl-2015.02.03.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl

but the installation was different:

1st run:

    Successfully uninstalled youtube-dl-2015.1.16
Successfully installed youtube-dl-2015.1.25

2nd run:

    Successfully uninstalled youtube-dl-2015.1.25
Successfully installed youtube-dl-2015.2.2

3rd run:

    Successfully uninstalled youtube-dl-2015.2.2
Successfully installed youtube-dl-2015.2.3.1

I guess things are ok now, but what the heck?

It could be the same as pypa/pip#2382 (I also got it when upgrading pip)
