Cannot install qiime even in new (empty) environment due to "package conflicts"

[jvollme]

It appears to be currently impossible to install qiime via bioconda (at least for me).

When i try to create a new environment named "qiime1" using conda create -n qiime1 qiime, I get the error: "Found conflicts! Looking for incompatible packages." (even though there should be NO conflicts as there should be no previously installed packages...).

My conflicts:

I also tried the approach suggested by the qiime website (conda create -n qiime_env python=2.7 qiime matplotlib=1.4.3 mock nose -c bioconda), but matplotlin v 1.4.3 is not apparently not available in conda. Substituting it with "matplotlib=1.5.3" yields basically the same conflicts as above.

How do you use the bioconda qiime-recipe to install qiime?
