I meet the same qusetions after i use: sudo apt-get upgrade,the problem is like this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/ros/kinetic/bin/catkin_make", line 13, in <module>
    from catkin.terminal_color import disable_ANSI_colors, fmt
  File "/opt/ros/kinetic/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/catkin/terminal_color.py", line 2, in <module>
    from catkin_pkg.terminal_color import *  # noqa
ImportError: No module named terminal_color

and I finally fix it with this command: pip install --upgrade catkin_pkg_modules

and then I can catkin_make,no error happen

Well, you are totally right here and I am wrong. Indeed, I had a version of catkin_pkg installed via pip (nothing else catkin related though).

I’ve checked and here it is

$ python -c "import catkin_pkg; print(catkin_pkg.__file__)"
home-dir/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/catkin_pkg/__init__.pyc

After uninstalling it, everything went back to normal.

I am very sorry for wasting your time here. Thank you for your patience!
