R-essentials Solving environment: failed with initial frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve.

[RaulBritto]

Actual Behavior

I´ve downloaded and installed the Anaconda version (Anaconda3-2020.02-Linux-x86_64.sh) from the official website. So, I've installed anaconda software in my computer and so far so good. After the anaconda's installation I've tried to install r-base and r-essentials. I got to install the r-base using conda install command but I cannot install r-essentials in no way.

Expected Behavior

Install correctly r-essentials

Steps to Reproduce

Install Anaconda 2020-02 Install r-essentials

Anaconda or Miniconda version:

Anaconda3-2020.02-Linux-x86_64.sh

Operating System:

Debian 10

You've a strange mix of packages from defaults and conda-forge. You have conda-forge listed as a higher priority channel over defaults. In other words - there is more going on here than you installing the latest Anaconda installer and attempting to install r-essentials from defaults. I'd recommend create a new environment using r and r-essentials from defaults and see if that still failing. i.e. conda create -n myrenv -c https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/r r-essentials You will probably still be pulling in conda-forge packages though - so you may want to update your default channels first.
