UnsatisfiableError when installing

A direct install attempt through the console results in this:

Solving environment: failed with repodata from current_repodata.json, will retry with next repodata source.

I'm finding your original post hard to read. Can you edit it so that it is formatted consistently?

[eZSnake]

It should now have more consistent formatting

[cmhughes]

Thanks for editing.

So this is about pre-commit and conda...? Is your pre-commit yaml file minimal? Please strip it down to the minimum possible.

@eZSnake I have a hard time understanding what might go wrong. The installation though pre-commit, and your second post "a direct install" seem to suggest that your conda is somehow unhappy of getting on of the dependencies of latexindent.pl. What is crucially missing in you post is therefore: on which platform are you working?

To debug, I would suggest that you try to install the dependencies of latexindent.pl one by one so see which one is the blocker. So please try in an active environment:

conda install -c conda-forge perl
conda install -c conda-forge perl-file-homedir
conda install -c conda-forge perl-yaml-tiny
conda install -c conda-forge latexindent.pl

Furthermore, I would suggest the same as @cmhughes : make a .pre-commit-config.yaml with only latexindent.pl to try (and remove everything that is not needed from the post above).

As a work-around you could try to use latexindent.pl instead of latexindent-conda in your .pre-commit-config.yaml

I tried creating a new environment in Conda and just installing latexindent as the only package using the conda install commands and it installed perl just fine but I once again got the UnsatisfiableError when trying to install perl-file-homedir

conda install -c conda-forge perl-yaml-tiny

The same messages popped up when I tried to install perl-yaml-tiny

It seems that this is really a conda installation issue and not specific to latexindent....?

I came across the following which looks like it had some tips:
merenlab/anvio#1145

[tdegeus]

Your post is inconsistent. What is the first (only?) package of the three dependencies there that does not work? What platform are you working on?

[cmhughes]

Summary of things we need from you, @eZSnake

1. minimal YAML
2. confirmation of the platform you're working on
3. confirmation of the output from following the steps that @tdegeus has given

[cmhughes]

Closing for now, let us know if you can provide any further information.
