GeoPandas – Resolving New Warnings and Issues with read_file() in GeoPandas

coordinate systemgeopandaspythonshapefile

I have written a script long time ago which worked with no problem, using GeoPandas in order to read shapefile to my jupyter notebook.
Today I have run my script and when I import geopandas I get new warning:

import geopandas as gpd

PROJ: proj_create_from_database: SQLite error on SELECT name, type,
coordinate_system_auth_name, coordinate_system_code, datum_auth_name,
datum_code, area_of_use_auth_name, area_of_use_code, text_definition,
deprecated FROM geodetic_crs WHERE auth_name = ? AND code = ?: no such
column: area_of_use_auth_name

seems like the library is being imported, yet I cannot read shapefiles.
This is how I tried to read shapefile:

shapes = gpd.read_file('shapefiles/polygons.shp')

CRSError: Invalid projection: epsg:4326: (Internal Proj Error:
proj_create: SQLite error on SELECT name, type,
coordinate_system_auth_name, coordinate_system_code, datum_auth_name,
datum_code, area_of_use_auth_name, area_of_use_code, text_definition,
deprecated FROM geodetic_crs WHERE auth_name = ? AND code = ?: no such
column: area_of_use_auth_name)

I have not changed my script and it worked for long time, so I believe something has changed with the package. I also used to read this specific shapefile, so nothing has changed in the shapefile itself.

Has anyone faced the same issue? is something now different with GeoPandas?how can I read the shapefile?

Edit:
geopandas version : 0.9.0

Just updating if happenns to someone: In the end what worked for me was to uninstall and install again geopandas and pyproj
