You forgot to rebuild all your AUR python packages after that update. That's a necessary step and has nothing to do with our conda package.

See e.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/1hk2wii/comment/m3g11xz/

Please ask in the Arch BBS or on e.g. Reddit if you have further questions!

There's a weird dependency circle with python-conda-package-handling when starting from scratch (neither python-conda or python-conda-package-handling installed). They both depend on each other and neither will build.

This can be circumvented by first installing python-conda-git, then python-conda-package-handling, and THEN python-conda, but this seems a little non-ideal.

Please see the respective package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-conda-package-handling/#comment-696941

TL;DR: fixed

just for info: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-conda-git installs. edit: never mind, they don't include python-conda-package-handling.. also I'm now understanding the problem is with python-conda-package-handling and not python-conda - moving over.

That's expected. The "base environment" is located under the /usr system directory and is not writable by users. That's because you installed conda system-wide with this package. If you'd instead installed it with e.g. the installer provided by continuum, the base environment would be situated under your home directory and you'd update with conda update conda.

Thank you. I switched back to the "base environment" just to test and I have the same error. Anyway, I trust you on the update through AUR so thanks again.

conda is not installed in your environment test01, but in the "base environment". If you installed conda with this package, there's no need for conda update conda though. You should update it with whatever AUR helper you're using.

Hi,

I just installed python-conda (fresh installation). When I run 'conda update conda', here is what I get. Thanks for your help!

$ conda update conda

PackageNotInstalledError: Package is not installed in prefix.
prefix: /home/$USER/.conda/envs/test01

It should probably be reported upstream that the default paths should be relative to the user home, not relative to the base directory.

I'm having this issue when creating conda environment:

Solving environment: failed

NotWritableError: The current user does not have write permissions to a required path. path: /usr/pkgs/urls.txt uid: 1000 gid: 1000

If you feel that permissions on this path are set incorrectly, you can manually change them by executing

$ sudo chown 1000:1000 /usr/pkgs/urls.txt

In general, it's not advisable to use 'sudo conda'.

Sorry for the format :)
