[FIXED] PIP: "Cannot uninstall 'ipython'. It is a distutils installed project and thus we cannot accurately determine..."

Issue

Trying to install spyder using pip:

pip install spyder

This error pops up:

Cannot uninstall 'ipython'. 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

Just solved with:

sudo apt-get remove ipython
