I tried to install a package for anaconda and this message showed up:
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.
Collecting package metadata (repodata.json): done
Solving environment: | failed with initial frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve.
After that, it searched for conflicts which i cancelled after several hours. The recommended fix is to downgrade python with conda install python=3.7.5 for example however the same problem occurs doing that.
I tried to reinstall anaconda but the same message shows up when I try to install anything.
I am quite new to all of this and I am out of ideas what I can do. Any suggestions what I can do?
Thanks
The reply is 3 months late and I don't have any information about what you're trying to install but I ran into the same errors (I'm also first time conda user). And the easiest workaround for me was to create a new environment. And remember to install everything you need with one command as it can get messy with the dependency tree if you install packages one by one.
e.g. I ran
conda create -n pacbio pbmm2 whatshap

After re-installing Anaconda 4 times in a row, and trying every possible trick in the book, I cannot seem to get OpenCV in my Anaconda apps. I want to use cv2 in Spyder (version 5.2.2), but countless tries have not resulted in anything of use.
DISCLAIMER: I am quite the noob when it comes to data environments, paths and whatnot, so be nice :)
INFO ABOUT THE PROBLEM:
I have now factory reset the computer, only downloaded and installed Anaconda through the official website. I then tried to type in to the Anaconda prompt:
conda install -c conda-forge opencv
When I run that, it currently produces:

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. Collecting package metadata (repodata.json): done

I tried the same yesterday, with similar results. Running for a couple of hours, it started Examining conflicts with a bunch of packages.
At this point I can do no better than just ask here. I've tried so many different ways of trying to install openCV, and none of them have worked. I am desperate for any help.
I am using a GP66 Leopard computer with Windows 10, I don't know what more specs are needed.
In advance, thank you for looking in to this problem.
This did it: pip install opencv-python. Thank you to #CristophRackwitz for the suggestion!

When I do the same with Conda install geopandas, fiona, or other similar groups then it makes a list of about 40 errors after the 'Press CTRL-C to abort' and says it can't resolve them, after running for an hour and a half. The first section is the same in both cases.
I seriously just need either geopandas or basemap (preferred) to work with a version of spyder that allows user inputs. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Anaconda and miniconda, both do the same thing.

I'm a little bit puzzled by this message, what does it mean "If python is on the left-most side of the chain"? I also modified my PATH and I am using python 3.8, shouldn't the installation work with the most recent version?
It looks like these packages on anaconda channel has not been updated in over a year, but the conda-forge channel has some newer builds, including some for Python 3.8. You could try
conda install -c anaconda -c conda-forge mayavi
(edited with correct conda-forge link)

How can I solve that issues so I can use the package?
All the best.
try:
conda update anaconda-navigator
conda update navigator-updater
conda install opencv-python
I'm trying to install pygame on my Mac and get a ton of errors. I'm not 100% sure what this is telling me, except that it's telling me a lot.
Is it saying that Pygame is only compatible with Python 3.5? Because there was another ticket on StackOverflow (Install pygame with anaconda on mac) that said there was a problem with Python 3.5. I'd be surprised if it was incompatible with 3.7.
And if it's not incompatible, what's the problem? Everything I find seems to be quite Windows-centric with its problems and solutions.

You should use pip install pygame instead. The pygame package hosted by cogsci hasn't been updated in close to 4 years. That's the reason it still only supports python 2.7 and 3.5
On OS X with Anaconda I got pygame to work in a terminal with:
conda activate
pip install pygame
