tensorflow_hub can't find 'keras.api' module

Question

I am using Anaconda Spyder5 with python 3.8 My tensorflow is working fine, I can train and predict NNs. But when I try to import 'tensorflow_hub' I get the following error:

import tensorflow as tf
print("TF Version: ", tf.__version__)

import tensorflow_hub as hub
print("TF-Hub version: ", hub.__version__)

The generated error:

TF Version:  2.6.0
Traceback (most recent call last):

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'keras.api'

What I have tried:

1. Uninstall and install all tensorflow and keras packages
2. Upgrade all packages

Any help is very very welcomed!

Thank you

We're currently seeing issues with TF 2.6.0 installing tensorflow-estimator 2.7.0. If you've installed tensorflow-estimator 2.7.0, please try downgrading it to 2.6.0. If you don't have version 2.7.0, please provide a more complete list of which libraries and versions you have installed.
