Comment 1 Mike McLean 2016-01-04 15:50:27 UTC 
For reference:

Upstream commit that added a slew of exact version requirements:
https://github.com/getnikola/nikola/commit/141e6bb43cd4cd8482202b3d93ab94a68a3255e3

Upstream ticket that the above change was "fixing":
https://github.com/getnikola/nikola/issues/1320
Comment 2 Neal Gompa 2016-01-07 04:00:25 UTC 
Couldn't we override this in our packaging of python-nikola with a patch?
Comment 3 Adam Miller 2016-01-11 18:01:35 UTC 
Yes, this could likely be resolved with a relatively simple patch to the package.
Comment 4 Pete Travis 2016-01-12 04:17:52 UTC 
I'm working on that now, sorry for the delay.
