Installation of python module nevergrad with R package reticulate fails

I'm trying to run Robyn in Databricks but it fails since the python module nevergrad fails to install properly using the r package reticulate. This code still worked properly about 1,5 months ago so maybe the issue is on some new update in databricks?

Running on 13.3 LTS and tested now also on 14.3 clusters with R libraries Robyn and reticulate preinstalled

 
library(reticulate)
py_install("nevergrad")
reticulate::py_config()
 
py_module_available("nevergrad")
#should show TRUE now shows FALSE
 
py_module_available("numpy")
#shows TRUE as should
 
This causes the Robyn pipeline to fail. Any ideas how to fix the installation of nevergrad?
