Not possible to install from conda package

[stevekm]

Every version of conda and Python that I try gives the same error

$ cat Dockerfile
FROM continuumio/miniconda3:23.5.2-0
RUN conda install -c bioconda r-sceasy

$ docker build -t test .

How do you get this installed with conda? Thanks.

It seems that you are required to use mamba instead of conda to get it installed correctly;

$ cat Dockerfile
FROM condaforge/mambaforge:23.3.1-1
RUN mamba install -c bioconda r-sceasy

# test
 RUN Rscript -e 'library(sceasy)'

This seems to work. Would be great if the conda installation worked though.
