CondaHTTPError: HTTP 404 NOT FOUND for url <https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main/noarch/repodata.json.bz2

I use Mac machine to create a virtual environment for Python

conda create -n test_python3_9 python=3.9

and received these errors:

Solving environment: failed

CondaHTTPError: HTTP 404 NOT FOUND for url <https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main/noarch/repodata.json.bz2>

The remote server could not find the noarch directory for the
requested channel with url: https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main

As of conda 4.3, a valid channel must contain a `noarch/repodata.json` and
associated `noarch/repodata.json.bz2` file, even if `noarch/repodata.json` is
empty. please request that the channel administrator create
`noarch/repodata.json` and associated `noarch/repodata.json.bz2` files.
$ mkdir noarch
$ echo '{}' > noarch/repodata.json
$ bzip2 -k noarch/repodata.json

You will need to adjust your conda configuration to proceed.
Use `conda config --show channels` to view your configuration's current state.
Further configuration help can be found at <https://conda.io/docs/config.html>.

conda version is conda 4.5.12 and the .condarc file content is:

ssl_verify: true
channels:
  - defaults

mac version is: Catalina 10.15.7 Do not know how to fix this issue. Can anyone helps on this?

Thanks, Arthur

Solution

  • The file repodata.json.bz2 was uploaded to the repository https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main/noarch at 2022-08-22 13:19:29 +0000. For now no need to update anaconda packages.
