`$ /opt/anaconda3/bin/conda info`

An unexpected error has occurred. Conda has prepared the above report.
If you suspect this error is being caused by a malfunctioning plugin,
consider using the --no-plugins option to turn off plugins.

Example: conda --no-plugins install <package>

Alternatively, you can set the CONDA_NO_PLUGINS environment variable on
the command line to run the command without plugins enabled.

Example: CONDA_NO_PLUGINS=true conda install <package>

If submitted, this report will be used by core maintainers to improve
future releases of conda.
Would you like conda to send this report to the core maintainers? [y/N]: N

No report sent. To permanently opt-out, use

    $ conda config --set report_errors false

Additional Context

This started happening after upgrade to from Python 3.10 -> Python 3.11.3. I tried to delete & reinstall anaconda navigator several times, eventually reinstalled macOSX Sonoma 14.5 and restored by files from time machine backup, and can't fix this problem. It gets my PyCharm environment stuck in a loop trying to reload everything. Very painful.

Getting this exact same error, exact same traceback issues, on Windows 11. This is for the default python install from Anaconda.

The error message you are encountering is a PermissionError, which indicates that the conda command is unable to access a configuration file due to insufficient permissions. Specifically, the error is occurring because the conda process does not have permission to read the file located at /Users/strongpc/.config/conda/.condarc. PermissionError [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/Users/strongpc/.config/conda/.condarc'. Do you have any additional permissions you need to set?
