Why does conda create try to install weird packages? : <p>I am trying to install a new conda environment that will be totally separate from my other environments, so I run:</p>

<pre><code>conda create --name foot35 python=3.5
</code></pre>

<p>Anaconda then asks for my approval to install these NEW packages:</p>

<p>I don't know why it suggests these specific ones. I looked up <a href="https://pypi.python.org/pypi/lockfile/0.12.2" rel="noreferrer">lockfile</a> and its website says: </p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Note: This package is deprecated.</p>
</blockquote>

<p><a href="https://i.imgur.com/cEjfYrQ.png" rel="noreferrer">Here</a> is a screenshot of my command prompt as additional information. </p>

<p>I am trying to do a clean install that is unrelated/independent to the root environment. </p>

<p>Why is conda trying to install these things and how do I fix it?</p>
