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!

Hello @cyrevolt, I don't really want to maintain this package, apologies for the misunderstanding.

I've added rafauke as another co-maintainer.

Hope that helps keeping this package more up to date. 🙂 They also file an orphan request. I will disown the package so they can take over. Good luck and thank you!

@specter119: Thanks a lot! So, sounds like there isn't much difference between this and miniconda3, in that case I prefer the one that's mostly updated... About micromamba-bin: Never heard of that before, I'll look a bit into that and see if I should try it out, thanks!

@newsboost

updated, For miniconda3, it has a built-in(the base) env. For python-conda, only provides the conda binary. The base env is like the system python, which you can not modify.

BTW, I personally recommend trying the micromamba-bin currently. for mamba is a more powerful python env/lib manager based on conda's resources.

Hi. Sorry, what's the difference between this and https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/miniconda3 ? Both seem to provide conda - that confuses me... On the other hand, this package seems pretty dead since it hadn't been updated since October - 5 months...

Since that python-conda is providing /usr/bin/conda, could you please include

provides=('conda')

Update to python-setuptools 1:60.4.0-1 solves this issue.

A workaround of this issue is to edit /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/conda-4.12.0-py3.10.egg-info/requires.txt and remove the ruamel_yaml_conda>=0.11.14 line.

It seems that python-setuptools 1:60.0.0-1 breaks conda.

With python-setuptools 60.0.0 I got the following error:

Downgrade python-setuptools to 59.8.0 solves this issue.

Found a fix:

sed -i "s/'conda=conda\.cli\.main_pip:main'/'conda=conda\.cli\.main:main','conda-env=conda_env\.cli\.main:main'/" setup.py

We replace main_pip by main to avoid the hook that says to run conda init, and we create a second entrypoint for conda-env.

The lack of a conda-env entrypoint should probably be reported upstream.
