Não é possível atualizar o Requests lib Python

Question

Estou tentando atualizar a versão do Requests for Python 2.7.6 no Ubuntu 14.04, mas não consigo.

Se eu tentar executar sudo pip install requests --upgrade , recebo esta mensagem:

Se eu tentar desinstalá-lo para instalá-lo novamente: sudo pip uninstall requests :
