‘’The environment is inconsistent, please check the package plan carefully‘’ always appears

I tried to install new packages from anaconda and this message has appeared:
(base) C:\Users\lenovo>conda install anaconda
Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done
Solving environment: \
The environment is inconsistent, please check the package plan carefully
The following packages are causing the inconsistency:
I tried with conda install anaconda,conda update --all and conda install anaconda-clean,respectively，but it persists.
I CANT EVEN UNINSTALL ANACONDA DUE TO THE SAME ISSUE!
Did anyone get any progress on this?
Here are some details：

I had a very similar problem as you: couldn't install fbprophet and failed to solve the environment when I tried to update conda. As suggested in this website and this stackoverflow question, I tried the command conda config --set channel_priority flexible. After that, I could run conda install anaconda and the environment failed to solve at the first time, but then downloaded / downgraded / changed the packages successfully.

conda `ResolvePackageNotFound` after fresh install

I want to create a new conda environment.
However, I get the following error message:

I removed all of my old environments (they had become bloated) and uninstalled and reinstalled a new miniconda3 installation.

I do not understand why the conda installer is still looking for gdal or other packages which were previously installed but I thought I had removed.

I have tried many ways, this below one worked for me
the (base) in anaconda file has no environment variable set.
you can know what envs is set by typing
"conda info"
if it shows
-active environment : none-
then,
create a new envs as below
conda create --name environment_name_of_your_own
after following the steps
conda activate environment_name_of_your_own
from (base) , it changes to (environment_name_of_your_own)
you can run your commands from here now, it will work mostly.
it worked for me.

"Collecting package metadata: failed" with UnavailableInvalidChannel error when conda install in a brand new Anaconda environment

Just after I successfully installed Anaconda in Windows (using the official installer), I tried to install a package with conda command. Then, I got the following UnavailableInvalidChannel error:
C:\Users\user>conda install numpy
WARNING: The conda.compat module is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
Collecting package metadata: failed
UnavailableInvalidChannel: The channel is not accessible or is invalid.
channel name: pkgs/msys2/repo.anaconda.com/pkgs
channel url: https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/msys2/repo.anaconda.com/pkgs
error code: 404
It seems conda is using wrong channel url, but there is no reference to https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/msys2/repo.anaconda.com/pkgs in my config.
C:\Users\user>conda config --show channels
channels:
- https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/
- https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main/win-64/

Do you have any idea how to resolve this problem?

Anaconda Import Error, module just installed isn't found

Yet another Import Error issue, I know...
I have been through many posts on stackoverflow about this issue but nothing seem to help
Here is the thing, I am not a windows person, I have used anaconda on mac and Linux for quite a while but now I have to train someone on Python with windows10.
So I tried to install Anaconda, thinking oh well that should be easy...
What I did :
Install miniconda3
Create a conda environment named 'first' - activated it
Install numpy scipy and geopandas (conda install -c conda-forge geopandas)
Start IPython
Typed import geopandas and got an Import Error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'geopandas'
Note that Geopandas and all packages appear in the pip list of my environment
So then I Import sys and typed sys.path with this result (sys.executable was fine)
['',
'C:\\Users\\mine\\Miniconda3\\Scripts',
'C:\\Users\\mine\\Miniconda3\\python36.zip',
'C:\\Users\\mine\\Miniconda3\\DLLs',
'C:\\Users\\mine\\Miniconda3\\lib',
'C:\\Users\\mine\\Miniconda3',
'C:\\Users\\mine\\Miniconda3\\lib\\site-packages',
'C:\\Users\\mine\\Miniconda3\\lib\\site-packages\\win32',
'C:\\Users\\mine\\Miniconda3\\lib\\site-packages\\win32\\lib',
'C:\\Users\\mine\\Miniconda3\\lib\\site-packages\\Pythonwin',
'C:\\Users\\mine\\Miniconda3\\lib\\site-packages\\IPython\\extensions',
'C:\\Users\\mine\\.ipython']
I believe I should see something about my conda environment in there
c:\users\mine\miniconda3\envs\first\
What did I do wrong? How do I fix it and why do you think that happened? Should I report it to anaconda as it seems to be a pretty annoying thing.

You also need to install IPython into your new environment:
conda install ipython
otherwise it uses the ipython form "outside" the environment because it is a command line app and not necessary connected to an environment.
You can check IPython you use with:
where ipython
