[BUG] - Can't install conda-store-server on M1 MacOS

[ibdafna]

Describe the bug

Running the installation command results in the following:

~/dev/research
➜ m create -n env-research -c main -c conda-forge "conda-store-server>=0.4.10"
conda-forge/osx-arm64                                       Using cache
conda-forge/noarch                                          Using cache
main/noarch                                                   No change
main/osx-arm64                                                No change
error    libmamba Could not solve for environment specs
    The following package could not be installed
    └─ conda-store-server >=0.4.10  is not installable because it requires
       └─ conda-docker, which requires
          └─ fakechroot, which does not exist (perhaps a missing channel).
critical libmamba Could not solve for environment specs

I'm using micromamba here but the same issue also manifests when attempting installation via conda.

Expected behavior

I'd expect the package to install.

How to Reproduce the problem?

Run conda create -n env-research -c main -c conda-forge "conda-store-server>=0.4.10" in a terminal running on an M1 Mac.

Output

See above.

Anything else?

Many thanks for building this tool and supporting the community!

Tagging @asmeurer

@ibdafna the current release version of conda-store doesn't support OSX or Windows. @asmeurer is working on OS X and Windows compatibility. I think the plan is that it will be in the next release.

Aaron, can you update on how far along we are in that respect.

[trallard]

@ibdafna, thanks for flagging this up.

The culprit here is the conda-docker dependency. We recently removed this, so conda-store should be installable on MacOS from main.

We have a release scheduled tomorrow, so this fix should be available then, and 🤞🏽 you should be able to install conda-store with mamba/conda

@trallard @dharhas Thank you both for the quick reply and solution.
