Does nobody know what to do?

ok. I just did

wget https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/p/pip/pip-1.5.6.tar.gz
tar -vzxf pip-1.5.6.tar.gz
cd pip-1.5.6
python setup.py install

now I get

Looking at this certbot issue that may be resolved by correctly setting the language

export LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"
export LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"

Thanks for your help! Unfortunately it didn’t resolve it. Still setuptools pip failed with error code 1

Not sure it’s related, but a number of people have needed to reboot a server after upgrading pip …

Unfortunately it didn’t solve my case.

Unfortunately I don’t use certbot myself, I use one of the other clients. It may be worth posting as an issue on the certbot github site.
