Installation Error

[cuzzo87]

To install I have followed the step:

1. installing conda
2. installing conda version 3.5. (Necessary to use the newer version of nglviewer)
3. conda clean
4. installing htmd by using conda

The error is:

dbus post-link :: /etc/machine-id not found ..
dbus post-link :: .. using /proc/sys/kernel/random/boot_id

ERROR conda.core.link:_execute_actions(335): An error occurred while installing package 'acellera::nglview-0.6.2.2-py35_0'.

Attempting to roll back.

have you ever seen something like this @hainm?

[hainm]

Try

conda upgrade conda

I've seen that with another package and likely a conda bug.

[j3mdamas]

I am on 4.3.16, which is the latest, I think, and that's the one causing problems. I also reproduce this issue from Alberto.

[stefdoerr]

I'm curious though as to why it's pulling 0.6.2.2
Joao we might need to make a new htmd release because the latest one on acellera is 0.6.2.3 taken from omnia which had a python 3.6 build

@hainm any reason why you don't make 3.6 versions? https://anaconda.org/bioconda/nglview/files It forces us to use the older one from omnia which does

[j3mdamas]

OK, I am going to make a new HTMD release, with the newest nglview. Let's see how it goes.

Pinning conda to an older conda version (4.3.11) did not work.

[hainm]

There no python 3.6 yet on bioconda channel

[hainm]

Side note: IMO, your package should not list nglview or other add-ons as dependence since you don't have control how they are built/delivered. Ideally you should pack all in a single tar file and distribute it (if the license permits that).

@hainm doesn't that defeat the purpose of conda? :)

I'm releasing 1.7.15, which will have 0.6.2.4 instead of 0.6.2.2.

[hainm]

You are making assumption that conda is reliable :p

You have a great point, but we're trying to work with it :) For good and bad

[j3mdamas]

It's fixed on 1.7.15

@hainm i'm getting this: jupyter-widgets/ipywidgets#662 (comment) as you did in the past with 0.6.2.4. Anything we could do here?

[hainm]

no, it's ipywidgets stuff jupyter-widgets/ipywidgets#1211

[j3mdamas]

Thanks, let's wait for the next ipywidgets version then.

Thanks a lot for your help, @hainm!
