Topic: pip subprocess error

I just got this error updating my conda environment.

Pip subprocess error:
Running command git clone -q https://github.com/NCAR/pop-tools.git /glade/scratch/mclong/tmp/pip-req-build-m_8ip_fb
Running command git clone -q https://github.com/matt-long/xpersist.git /glade/scratch/mclong/tmp/pip-req-build-09r3i96y
ERROR: Cannot uninstall 'llvmlite'. It is a distutils installed project and thus we cannot accurately determine which files belong to it which would lead to only a partial uninstall.

What should I do?

Do you have numba installed in that environment?

Anderson Banihirwe (Mar 13 2020 at 20:00):

and llvmlite?

Anderson Banihirwe (Mar 13 2020 at 20:00):

Were they installed via conda or pip?

Anderson Banihirwe (Mar 13 2020 at 20:05):

one more question :slight_smile:

Anderson Banihirwe (Mar 13 2020 at 20:06):

How are you updating the conda environment???

conda update --all

or

conda env  update -f ENVIRONMENT_FILE.yaml

Matt Long (Mar 13 2020 at 20:21):

numba: yes
llvmlite: not explicitly

I used

conda env update -f environment.yml

I just deleted the environment and will rebuild. Should I add anything else?

Anderson Banihirwe (Mar 13 2020 at 20:25):

Okay.. llmvite comes with numba. I don't really know what is happening, but the only time I ran into this issue was when I tried installing numba from source (GitHub)

Matt Long (Mar 13 2020 at 20:26):

blowing the environment away and recreating seems to have worked.

Matt Long (Mar 13 2020 at 20:26):

thanks for your help!

I suspect that at some point in the past, the dependency graph in your environment got corrupted
