ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tensorflow.contrib.tensorboard'

Question

I installed tensorflow on my arch linux computer via pacman. I tried to run the official example code for the mnist problem, but I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tensorflow.contrib.tensorboard'

I couldn't locate a tensorboard folder and thus not the requested projector module in the tensorflow/contrib/ folder. Do you know how I could solve that problem?

As a dirty hack, you can download the corresponding Pip archive and copy the contrib/tensorboard directory in the archive to /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/tensorflow/contrib/tensorboard.
