Description of your problem

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. Run > conda update --all inside spyder terminal

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Expected: Normal update of all packages in the core environment

Instead: At some point during the update, it tried to open 127.0.0.1 (or a similar IP, I wasn't smart enough to write it down) after which the terminal became unresponsive and all subsequent terminals did not work. I tried to restart spyder, but after closing spyder, it no longer worked, nor did conda commands. I had to delete and reinstall anaconda.

Please provide any additional information below

Versions and main components

Unfortunately, I deleted everything before I thought to make a bug complaint, sorry.

This to me seems a systems issue. You should not be able to update Spyder from Inside Spyder. You could carry this out in old versions with problems arising. See file Spyder-4.0.1. In Later Versions of Spyder it was not possible to carry this out. See Spyder -4.1.4

Seems to me that the issue was running the update from inside the Spyder IDE. I am running windows 10, spyder 4.1.4 at work and I carried out the above.

When I tried the update inside the Spyder terminal it did all the checks and collection logic and was ready to proceed., On entering Y to continue it exited. I would expect this to be correct as it was trying to update itself from inside itself. Results in Spyder-4.1.4

When I did the same on my home pc running windows 10 and Spyder 4.0.1 I got the results in Spyder-4.0.1 when was able to run the conda update --all from the Spyder Terminal within Spyder. I would not have expected to be allowed to do this. As i said above. in Spyder v 4.1.4 this is not the case.

Hopefully helpful to devs.

Yeah, seems like it was a bonehead move on my part trying to update all from within one of the to be updated applications. Probably not something I should've tried to do in the first place. Well, I'm running 4.1.5 now, so I guess it is solved
