tensorflow 2.0.0 crashes with protobuf 3.10.1 on macOS

[essandess]

Using MacPorts with the latest up-to-date versions (tensorflow 2.0.0, protobuf 3.10.1),

python3 -c 'import tensorflow'

[libprotobuf ERROR google/protobuf/descriptor_database.cc:394] Invalid file descriptor data passed to EncodedDescriptorDatabase::Add().
[libprotobuf FATAL google/protobuf/descriptor.cc:1359] CHECK failed: GeneratedDatabase()->Add(encoded_file_descriptor, size): 
libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type google::protobuf::FatalException: CHECK failed: GeneratedDatabase()->Add(encoded_file_descriptor, size): 
Abort trap: 6

This is reported and closed in #2985, but the issue persists.

A workaround is pip-3.7 install protobuf==3.8, but this doesn't work with system-level, up-to-date library installs like with MacPorts. Also see: https://trac.macports.org/ticket/59826

Is this an issue with TF, or with protobuf?

Whoops, I intended this for TF, not TB. I'll close the issue and post there.
