Problems upgrading anaconda

[eduardvives]

My operating system is

OS X El Capitan
10.11.1

After typing the command
conda update anaconda
I got the following error message:

An unexpected error has occurred, please consider sending the | 5%
following traceback to the conda GitHub issue tracker at:

Include the output of the command 'conda info' in your report.

I have the exact same problem and output. Can someone resolve this issue?

@ckreisch What is the output of conda info?

[ckreisch]

atlas@atlas-Inspiron-5537:~$ conda info
bash: /home/atlas/anaconda/bin/conda: No such file or directory

[kalefranz]

Looks related to #1733 I think. What is the output of ls -al /home/atlas/anaconda? I'm wondering what the permissions are on the /home/atlas/anaconda directory.

I am having a similar problem with 'conda update conda.' Error message and 'conda info' output included below. I have not tried to simply uninstall/reinstall at this point.

I just uninstalled and reinstalled. Hopefully this problem will be fixed soon so people do not lose additional installed packages.
