Describe the problem
I try to upgrade to beta1 with:
install tensorflow==2.0.0-beta1
at the end I get:

Installing collected packages: wrapt, tensorflow
  Found existing installation: wrapt 1.10.11
ERROR: Cannot uninstall 'wrapt'. It is a distutils installed project and thus we cannot accurately determine which files belong to it which would lead to only a partial uninstall.

How to fix it?

[Elmit2015]

I fixed it by:

conda update --all
pip install --upgrade tensorflow==2.0.0-beta1

[ssusie]

It didn't work for me. Still getting that error.

Edit: Fixed it by installing tensorflow 1.14 first then updating it to version 2.0

[atoyissan]

try

[tahwaru]

this worked for me!!!!

PS: I got a reboot after the first line was done.

[NoSyu]

Above solutions are not worked for me. So I remove the `wrapt' by conda operation.

conda remove wrapt

And, it worked.

pip install tensorflow

Env: Windows 10

[RealPolitiX]

agreed!

[JulianKlug]

None of the solutions worked for me.
I am always getting ERROR: Cannot uninstall 'wrapt'. It is a distutils installed project and thus we cannot accurately determine which files belong to it which would lead to only a partial uninstall.
and with conda remove wrapt I get RemoveError: 'setuptools' is a dependency of conda and cannot be removed from conda's operating environment.

env: Mac OS 10.14.5

Tensorflow seems to have trouble being friendly with other packages. The following worked for me, starting from a clean conda environment:

pip install --upgrade pip
pip install six>=1.12.0
pip install httplib2==0.12.0
pip uninstall -y setuptools
pip install setuptools>=41.0.0

pip install tensorflow==1.14.0
pip install tfx

pip install pylint

This sequence gets rid of wrapt as well as tensorboard warnings and google-apitools failures.

[YogeshGadade]

This worked for me. I am using Jupyter notebook (OD: Ubuntu 16.0) all the commands running from the notebook:

At the time of installing tensor flow I got following two errors. The errors and solutions are:
ERROR 1: Cannot uninstall 'wrapt'. It is a distutils installed project and thus we cannot accurately determine which files belong to it which would lead to only a partial uninstall.

Solution: run following command
!conda remove wrapt --yes

ERROR 2: tensorboard 1.14.0 has requirement setuptools>=41.0.0
Solution: run following command to solve this error
!pip uninstall -y setuptools
!pip install setuptools>=41.0.0

Now install tensorflow:
!pip install tensorflow

I think this avoids other unwanted upgrades by conda

[Neowy]

conda uninstall wrapt
pip install tensorflow

[back-p]

Thank you man, this worked for me!

[turinglife]

Worked for Ubuntu 16.04 x86_64

When I perform the command "pip install tensorflow-gpu==1.15", I encounter the error "Found existing installation: wrapt 1.10.11 ERROR: Cannot uninstall 'wrapt'".

my solution:

1. perform "pip install wrapt --upgrade --ignore-installed", upgrade wrapt 1.10.11 to wrapt-1.12.0
2. perform "pip install tensorflow-gpu==1.15"

if you cannot perform "pip install tensorflow-gpu==1.15" successfully. Maybe you firstly need to upgrade pip-18.1 to pip-20.0 using "python -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools".

It worked for me , thank you

[imoisharma]

It's worked for me as well. Really appreciated for providing such details. However, could you please provide more details regarding the problem? Why we are not able to uninstall "wrapt" without upgrading all the packages and libraries? @Elmit2015
