I came across a strange situation in setting up my Anaconda3. Several weeks after initial setup I want to update some packages now and as I am friend of command line, I did that via Anaconda prompt opened on my (single) environment via navigator. All cmd statements ran fine and conda list gives the expected version numbers. However, the navigator GUI still flags related packages as "updatable". What is the reason for it? Thanks for fruitful discussions and learnings about anaconda!
Particular examples:
- python -> navigator shows update possible to 3.7.7, but
python --versionsays 3.7.7 - pytorch -> navigator shows update possible to 1.3.1, but
conda list -f pytorchfor environment cmd prompt says 1.3.1
My system setup:
- Windows 10 1909 x64 with conda version 4.8.3 and conda-build version 3.18.11
- Anaconda3 installed in a C:\ folder -> for package maintenance activities always admin rights used
- One single conda environment -> base (root)
- One single update channel configured in Navigator GUI -> defaults
- All packages installed via conda, nothing via pip
anaconda-navigator 1.9.12 py37_0
anaconda-client 1.7.2 py37_0
What I tried so far:
- During search on Stackoverflow, I stumbled across the following question, BUT this is a different problem: problems updating packages in anaconda navigator
- Also on Stackoverflow, a question in this particular was posted, BUT the user used pip which I did not use: Anaconda Navigator shows me old versions of packages
- The "To update all current packages without upgrading to the latest version of Anaconda" approach mentioned in following link, but did not work: https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/user-guide/troubleshooting/#conda-update-anaconda-command-does-not-install-the-latest-version-of-anaconda
- Removal and Re-Installation of anaconda-navigator package
