For me this only appeared using the conda package pip 18.1_py36_0 (didnt try any other versions). So i downgraded pip in the virtual environment to version 10 via

Also see this pull request for conda https://github.com/conda/conda/pull/7612 which fixes the issue for conda 4.6.2. It also was backported to conda 4.5.10. Currently there is no conda 4.4.x backport.
