python – Unknown dependency “pin-1” prevents conda installation

admin

I’m trying to downgrade libffi=3.3 because I have read that the current version may be the reason for a bug im encountering.

conda install libffi==3.3 -n mismatch
Channels:
 - defaults
Platform: linux-64

As you can see I already have downgraded python to 3.11 — why is the conda solver complaining about “pin1” and its requirement for python 3.11?
