when trying to install any package from conda-forge, it raises the following error :
Solving environment: failed with initial frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve.
Solving environment: failed with repodata from current_repodata.json, will retry with next repodata source.
but when i try to install the same package not from conda-forge, everything is ok and there's no problem.
what's the problem here and how can i solve it?
i tried removing and reinstalling conda-forge channel as it worked for some people, but it didn't solve the problem for me

How I got here:
I installed anaconda many months ago but never got around to using it. Now I need to do something with geopandas so...
I tried to update anaconda. Got some warnings & so decided to uninstall it & do a new clean install.
I attempted to uninstall anacondas but found the instructions unclear & missed a step. Reinstalled anaconda. geopandas wouldn't install.
Research revealed the missing uninstall step. Did it again. Looked like it was all gone.
Installed anaconda. Verified as here: https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/install/verify-install/#

Do not install packages into the base environment, create new, clean ones for your project.
Use conda-forge channel where GeoPandas team has the ability to fine tune installation process
conda create -n geo_env
conda activate geo_env
conda config --env --add channels conda-forge
conda config --env --set channel_priority strict
conda install geopandas
if that doesn't help, use mamba to install GeoPandas.
conda create -n geo_env
conda activate geo_env
conda config --env --add channels conda-forge
conda config --env --set channel_priority strict
conda install mamba
mamba install geopandas
Following merv's hints (above) I used the approach here: Conda install some-package hangs with (Solving environment: failed)
That seems to have fixed the problem.
Thanks all for your help.
When I tried to conda install python-graphviz in Anaconda3 on my Ubuntu machine, it stuck at Solving environment:

What's the problem?
I had the same problem. The following was my solution:
Install graphviz manually.
E.g. for ubuntu:
sudo apt install graphviz graphviz-dev
Then do a pip install for the python package.
pip install graphviz
Confusingly the pip install of graphviz is the same as the conda install of python-graphviz. (bad naming)
Typing this from my phone so better double check my commands for typos. Let me know if that solved it.

this is happening since I uninstalled and reinstalled anaconda. conda was working properly before that.
Does anyone know how to solve this?

Did anyone encounter the same problem or knows how to tackle it?
I experience a lot of problems after updating the system.
System: MacOS Catalina V10.15.3
I've fixed this problem by uninstall the "whole" python and reinstall with conda. I think the problem maybe due to the other conda python 3.7 package related,
conda remove --force
These are common Problems when you install Anaconda via the GUI installer, Install Anaconda using the Bash Shell Script from Anaconda.com . This will solve most of the issues.

This one worked for me, use "sudo"
I'm trying to set up a Anaconda environment with Python=3.4.

I already include the conda-forge channel, but still get this error:

UnsatisfiableError: The following specifications were found to be incompatible with each other:
Package vc conflicts for:
python=3.4 -> vc=10
Package pip conflicts for:
python=3.4 -> pip
Package vs2010_runtime conflicts for:
python=3.4 -> vs2010_runtime
I'm pretty new to Anaconda and Python and dont know what to search for anymore.
This post: Why conda cannot create environment with python=3.4 installed in it didnt help either.
Firstly you can provide more details by increasing the verbosity of the create command, which will provide useful debug messages. Each -v increases the verbosity from INFO to DEBUG to TRACE. I normally always use DEBUG because I hate seeing it just sit there when solving an environment.
conda create -v -v -v -n py34 python=3.4
I don't believe you needed to add conda-forge, the problem with your first command was that you didn't specify python=3.4, you did version=3.4. Try it without conda-forge and including python=3.4 instead.
It also looks like your conda is broken, it's failing to resolve the environments which is likely not helping the situation. Try to fix that with
conda update --all
If you are still stuck with the same problem then review the conflicts with the following commands
conda info vc
conda info pip
conda info vs2010_runtime
I believe there is a chance that some of the packages in your base are incompatible with 3.4. In this case you could try to install without any default packages
conda create --no-default-packages -n py34 python=3.4
If you are still running into issues, there is a chance there is something janky with your config files, so I would try doing a complete uninstall of anaconda on windows. And then attempt this again.
Ok, 3 days later i found out that the latest Version of Anaconda is kinda broken. I downgraded to version 4.6.14 and now everythings seems to work.
conda config --set allow_conda_downgrades true
conda install conda=4.6.14
