This was a Plone 4.0.1 buildout so I guess it was 0.6.14
(can't check right now). Also numerous people complained
on IRC having the same problem (at least related to Plone 4
buildouts - not sure about problems with Plone 3 buildouts)

Well - obviously there is likely still something wrong
(in Distribute).

But wait....this problem persisted even after releasing
zc.buildout 1.5.2 (with 'url' pointing to pypi.python.org).
So there must be something else.

Wild guess:

pypi.python.org/simple/zc.buildout

contains a file

1.5.0 home_page

file pointing to buildout.org

Perhaps there is some unhandled edgecase in Distribute?
No idea - I don#t have much insight in setuptools/Distribute.
