[Python-modules-team] Bug#797070: [python-urllib3] Break python-requests and transitively vim-youcompleteme

[Jan Hudec]

Package: python-urllib3
Version: 1.11-1
Severity: serious

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

After upgrade of python-urllib3 to 1.11-1, vim-youcompleteme requests fail 
with:

Printing YouCompleteMe debug information...

Downgrading python-urllib3 to 1.10.4-1 fixes the problem.

There is no available upgrade to python-requests, python-requests-futures or 
vim-youcompleteme to fix the problem on their side.
