ImportError: cannot import name 'pyparsing_common'

edit

I am using Ubuntu 16.04 and built ROS2 crystal by source. I was able to build pub/sub example workspace successfully till I upgraded colcon with following commands:

sudo apt install  python3-colcon*
sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade

Now I get the following error:

[0.196s] ERROR:colcon.colcon_core.entry_point:Exception loading extension 'colcon_core.package_identification.bazel': cannot import name 'pyparsing_common'

I upgraded pyparsing with no luck

sudo -H pip install pyparsing
