Jim, thanks for taking time to reply.

Wow. That's really old and not really supported any more.
It also uses very old and unsupported versions of setuptools.
(...)
Buildout uses setuptools, which is what easy_install uses. (Buildout originally used easy_install more or less directly and still does in some narrow cases.)
Please upgrade to buildout 2.
Ok, I tried with current bootstrap.py from http://downloads.buildout.org/2/bootstrap.py and got the same error. This time when running bootstrap itself (not buildout): pdobrogost@host:~/projects/projectx/projectx_buildout$ python bootstrap.py Downloading https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/s/setuptools/setuptools-5.7.zip Extracting in /tmp/tmpj6ZiDN Now working in /tmp/tmpj6ZiDN/setuptools-5.7 Building a Setuptools egg in /tmp/tmpF9r1g6 /tmp/tmpF9r1g6/setuptools-5.7-py2.7.egg Download error on https://pypi.python.org/simple/zc.buildout/: hostname 'proxy.site.local' doesn't match either of '*.c.ssl.fastly.net', 'c.ssl.fastly.net', '*.target.com', '*.vhx.tv', '*.snappytv.com', '*.atlassian.net', 'secure.lessthan3.com', '*.atlassian.com', 'a.sellpoint.net', 'cdn.upthere.com', '*.tissuu.com', '*.issuu.com', '*.kekofan.com', '*.python.org', '*.theverge.com', '*.sbnation.com', '*.polygon.com', '*.twobrightlights.com', '*.2brightlights.info', '*.vox.com', 'staging-cdn.upthere.com', '*.zeebox.com', '*.beamly.com', '*.aticpan.org', 'stream.svc.7digital.net', 'stream-test.svc.7digital.net', '*.articulate.com', 's.t.st', 'vid.thestreet.com', '*.planet-labs.com', '*.url2png.com', 'turn.com', 'www.turn.com', 'rivergathering.org', 'social.icfglobal2014-europe.org', '*.innogamescdn.com', '*.pathable.com', '*.staging.pathable.com', '*.kickstarter.com', 'sparkingchange.org', 'www.swedavia.se', 'www.swedavia.com', 'js-agent.newrelic.com', '*.fastly-streams.com', 'cdn.brandisty.com', 'fastly.hightailcdn.com', '*.fl.yelpcdn.com', '*.feedmagnet.com', 'api.contentbody.com', '*.acquia.com', '*.swarmapp.com', '*.pypa.io', 'pypa.io', 'static.qbranch.se', '*.krxd.net', '*.room.co', '*.metrological.com', 'room.co', 'cdn.evbuc.com', 'cdn.adagility.com', '*.bandpage.com', '*.ibmserviceengage.com', '*.quirky.com', '*.veez.co', '*.x.io', '*.otoycdn.net', '*.scribd.com', 'www.dwin1.com', 'api.imgur-ysports.com', 'i.imgur-ysports.com', '*.fxcm.co.jp', 'listora.com', '*.listora.com', 'blendle.nl', '*.blendle.nl', '*.modeanalytics.com', 'modeanalytics.com', 'krux.com', '*.krux.com', '*.udemy.com', '*.1stdibs.com', 'api.keep.com', 'www.piriform.com', '*.ustream.tv', 'www.zimbio.com', 'm.zimbio.com', 'www.stylebistro.com', 'm.stylebistro.com', 'm.lonny.com', 'www.lonny.com', 'assets.trabiancdn.com', '*.socialchorus.com', '*.heritagestatic.com', '*.theoutbound.com', 'img.rakuten.com', 'images.rakuten.com', 'img1.r10.io', 'ast1.r10.io', 'scribd.com' -- Some packages may not be found!

I was going to run easy_install with the same options as bootstrap passes (trying to repeat the error) but before this I upgraded setuptools from 3.6 which I had to the current version 5.7. After this easy_install run without problems: pdobrogost@host:~$ easy_install -mZNxd /tmp/1 zc.buildout==2.2.1 Searching for zc.buildout==2.2.1 Reading https://pypi.python.org/simple/zc.buildout/ Best match: zc.buildout 2.2.1 Downloading https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/z/zc.buildout/zc.buildout-2.2.1.tar....

After this when I run bootstrap again the original problem was gone. Out of curiosity I downgraded setuptools to version 3.6 which I had originally installed and run bootstrap again. No problem this time. I have no idea what happened as upgrading and downgrading setuptools should not have any effect... Thank you for help. Regards, Piotr
