Packages missing in current osx-64 and channels
After trying to recreate an environment using a file I got this error:
Error: Packages missing in current osx-64 channels:
- timbr-io::argh 0.26.1 py27_0
- timbr-io::pathtools 0.1.2 py27_0
- timbr-io::watchdog 0.8.3 py27_0
And the same error running those commands on a docker container.
Error: Packages missing in current linux-64 channels:
- timbr-io::argh 0.26.1 py27_0
- timbr-io::pathtools 0.1.2 py27_0
- timbr-io::watchdog 0.8.3 py27_0
This is the file I'm using as a source:
name: snowflakes
dependencies:
- boto3=1.3.1=py27_0
- botocore=1.4.28=py27_0
- docutils=0.12=py27_2
- ecdsa=0.13=py27_0
- futures=3.0.5=py27_0
- jmespath=0.9.0=py27_0
- openssl=1.0.2h=1
- paramiko=1.16.0=py27_0
- pip=8.1.2=py27_0
- pycrypto=2.6.1=py27_4
- python=2.7.12=1
- python-dateutil=2.5.3=py27_0

- setuptools=23.0.0=py27_0
- six=1.10.0=py27_0
- sqlite=3.13.0=0

- timbr-io::pathtools=0.1.2=py27_0
- timbr-io::watchdog=0.8.3=py27_0
- tk=8.5.18=0
- wheel=0.29.0=py27_0
- yaml=0.1.6=0
- zlib=1.2.8=3
- pip:
- argh==0.26.1
- pathtools==0.1.2
- watchdog==0.8.3
Note: I actually create this file running the following commands, the problem is when I try to recreate this environment.
conda create --name snowflakes boto3 paramiko
source activate snowflakes
conda install -c timbr-io watchdog
conda env export > environment.yml
As you can see I'm installing watchdog from timbr-io (in anaconda.org), which have linux-64 and osx-64 versions of it (timbr-io/watchdog).
Answer
You cannot take a conda environment exported from one Operating System and use it on another.
The package numbers (and in some cases the package existence) are not aligned on different platforms.
conda env export is so you can reproduce the same env on that same OS.
