Pipenv cannot install packages, suggested workaround doesn't work either

See original GitHub issue

I have a simple little project with three dependencies: Flask, Flask-Cors and requests. My Pipfile lists the version for each as “*”, since I want to stay up to date and just use the newest version anyway.

When I run pipenv install, I get the following error:

Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement Flask 
(from -r /tmp/requirements.txt (line 3)) (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for Flask (from -r /tmp/requirements.txt (line 3))

along with the suggestion to use --ignore-hashes to get around this. However, using the option gives the exact same behavior.

This happens on Ubuntu 16.10, Xubuntu 16.04, and Manjaro Linux.

The hash thing was definitely a faux pas on our part. I’ve pushed db4a181 to address this so we’re not leading people astray with erroneous error messages. That’s probably the best we can do at this point. Hopefully this issue will help anyone else hitting this issue. Thanks for your time working through this 😃
