Here’s some context for people landing in this issue. The error is generated during the “integrity check” phase after packages are installed, and the fact that you hit this indicates that the packages you want have all been correctly installed. You can safely ignore this message if you must.
The easiest way to work around the error is to delete the offending
.dist-infodirectory in your environment. The last line of the error message should contain something likeSteps to recover:
package-version.dist-infodirectorypip install --force-reinstall package==versionUpdate: The most likely cause to this issue is you installed the offending package with
pip, but than uninstalled it withconda. This has been reported in conda/conda#10357; please drop a word there to let Conda maintainers know this is an issue.This is released as part of pip 20.2.4 now. Upgrading to the newest pip will include the fix.
You can either wait for the next official release of pip, and upgrade when it’s out, or you can install pip from github if you’re comfortable doing that (
python -m pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/pypa/pip, but be aware that you are getting the “work in progress” unreleased version of pip).It’s 2021, I’m having the same problem. I have tried both pip and conda but didn’t get lots of luck.
I have this error on arch GNU/Linux doing pip install salt
Are you able to open this file by hand in Notepad.exe (or any other editor)? It seems weird that this file cannot be read; this may be an environment issue, not a pip bug (although we should catch it and improve the error message).
