what is the deal with bioconda?

Question

[mk]

Is there any kind of conflict-checking for this channel?

I've never had a problem installing conda packages until I tried:

conda create --name seur01 -y 

conda activate seur01 

conda install -c bioconda r-seurat

Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done 
Solving environment: failed with initial frozen solve. 
Retrying with flexible solve. 
Solving environment: failed with repodata from current_repodata.json, will retry with next repodata source.

And that's it! There is no more output.

Make sure the order of channels is as follows.

conda config --add channels defaults
conda config --add channels bioconda
conda config --add channels conda-forge

I don't see the problem you are getting.
