conda installation issue

Hello, I am trying to install pirate via conda. I have activated all the mentioned conda channels. But it provides the following error or issue:

> `root@honey-pc:/home/furqan# conda install pirate

May be its a small issue but I couldn't find any solution to this.

Hi Furqan,

This is most likely an issue with other packages you have installed in the same environment. I checked with up to date conda and cannot replicate your issue. If you create a clean environment you shouldn't see this:

conda create -n PIRATE pirate

All the best, Sion
