Issue description

pixi init --import gives error on valid conda env file (see above)

Expected behavior

pixi init works. :-)

[baszalmstra]

The problem is with pandas[performance] which is not a valid package name because op the brackets. Conda ignores this for some reason. If you remove the [performance] part it should work.

Thanks!

Maybe you could ignore it as well and/or give a warning/error at least mentioning the problematic line/entry?

After I fix it I get this error which for me is also cryptic since there's no mention why the problematic package nanotime appears here, i.e. which of my dependencies try to drag it in and I have to adjust. And why the invalid gzip error?

I start seeing "Invalid gzip header" error too, e.g. in this pipeline: https://gitlab.kwant-project.org/qt/pymablock/-/jobs/445192#L30

[akhmerov]

Removing .pixi folder and installing everything again seemingly fixed the problem :man_shrugging:

[ruben-arts]

The ╰─▶ Invalid gzip header issue is going to be fixed by using no-build-isolation from #1909 so fix is on it's way.

I still get the same error:

  ⠚ default:osx-arm64    [00:00:00] resolving nanotime==0.5.2                                                                                                                       × failed to solve the pypi requirements of 'default' 'osx-arm64'

The problematic package is https://pypi.org/project/dvc which for some reason pixi attempts to install https://pypi.org/project/nanotime which I think it shouldn't, or at least pip doesn't do that.
