Description

After building the whl file from the latest branch, if you are running tensorflow nightly, rather than a stable release e.g. tensorflow 2.2, when you pip install the built whl file, it doesn't recognize you already have tensorflow > 1.15.1 installed and thus goes and retrieves the latest stable build and installs that over the top of tf-nightly, which then causes issue. So you can to go through an uninstall all the tensorflow packages and reinstall tf-nightly.

Research direction

Start by building the wheel from the latest branch and installing it with pip while tf-nightly is present. Inspect the dependency metadata exposed by the built .whl and compare it with pip's handling of tf-nightly. Done means pip keeps tf-nightly installed rather than installing stable TensorFlow.
