Comment (by oseiberts11):

 I seem to be in this situation, but no cleaning or uninstalling helps. I
 get into this cycle:

 pip....

 Really, tool or language specific package managers do NOT go together with
 system-level package managers... sigh.

 I had to follow the same procedure with a handful of other python packages
 too.
