Issue
Newer versions of Conda provide the user with more detailed information about inconsistent packages casuing conflict with the environment. One such package in my conda env is the _nb_ext_conf which according to anaconda cloud, is the latest 0.4.0 installed in my system and even then I'm receiving this warning when trying to install/update a module:
The environment is inconsistent, please check the package plan carefully
The following packages are causing inconsistency:
- defaults/osx-64::_nb_ext_conf==0.4.0=py36_1
This package cannot be removed, since its required by jupyterlab as well as notebook. I'm not sure if it's causing serious conflict since I haven't yet experienced anything getting broken, but I would still want to resolve this inconsistency. Is there a way I could fix it? I searched for similar questions in conda's issues section in github, but did not come across anything similar.
Solution
Run:
conda install anaconda
It may solve the problem.
If that doesn't work, run conda install package_name for the inconsistent packages to let conda try to restore consistency.
Else, run conda update --all
