The reason is again related to upper constraints as what happens is old enough version of pyghmi (from mitaka upper constraints) is installed with most recent virtualbmc (not in upper constraints), and those versions are incompatible.

Oh, fun.

Well, the docs job is easy to exclude. But we seem to have virtualbmc-based jobs 
there. As I already wrote in another message, I'm not even sure they're supposed 
to work..
