Question

Any conda command returns this message
also tried reinstalling anaconda. Any help is appreciated.
Any conda command generates the same output.
$ conda upgrade conda

An unexpected error has occurred. Conda has prepared the above report.
Upload did not complete
I tried to look at my .condarc file and even removed it but it doesn't change the outcome. Do you know what I can do to go back to a working conda?
