[melbourne-pug] pip will not downgrade to django 1.5.5 from 1.6.2 on ubuntu 12.04

[Brenton Cleeland]

This works fine for me on Ubuntu using the -U option.

(piprot-io)sesh at brntn:~/$ pip install -U Django==1.6.1
> Downloading/unpacking Django==1.6.1
>   Downloading Django-1.6.1.tar.gz (6.6MB): 6.6MB downloaded
>   Running setup.py egg_info for package Django
>     warning: no previously-included files matching '__pycache__' found
> under directory '*'
>     warning: no previously-included files matching '*.py[co]' found under
> directory '*'
> Installing collected packages: Django
>   Found existing installation: Django 1.6.2
>     Uninstalling Django:

> Django==1.6.1
