python – conda create env gives PackageNotFound error for not specified package
Trying to create a conda env with line conda create -n myenv python=3.9
I got this error, showing that it was trying to install a locally built package that I didn’t specify, let’s call it localpackage

I removed this using
conda config --remove create_default_packages localpackage
and issue is fixed now!
