Conda keeps installing outdated version of librosa on Windows

[Keanri828]

Hello :-)

Current Behavior

I have experienced an issue with librosa during the last months and tried to fix it again today, because this week someone's script ran into the same error. Thanks to the librosa-team I finally know what's wrong: My Windows-computer's version is outdated. Even though I installed my whole Python development environment (Anaconda, IDE) on this computer today. After updating conda (the Anaconda-installer's version seems to be outdated) it is still not possible to update librosa to 0.7.2 or to remove it and install the current version.

In my case this only happens on Windows, my Mac installed 0.7.1 last year without any issues. This also seems to happen on Google Collab, but I cannot provide further information to that.

Steps to Reproduce

I created a new environment and installed librosa (after installing pandas to reproduce my thesis' environment) via conda install -c conda-forge librosa. The following console output shows my installed packages after installing librosa:

In another environment I tried to install the current version via conda install -c conda-forge librosa=0.7.2, but it seems to run into an error:

I'm sadly not very experienced with Python yet (most of my knowledge is based on learning-by-doing while writing my thesis). I currently have no more ideas how to try to fix this.

Expected Behavior

conda install -c conda-forge librosa should install 0.7.2 instead of 0.6.3.

This is a problem with the librosa package. You can't install it at all, even by itself:

conda create -n rosa --dry-run librosa=0.7.2 -c conda-forge

Please take this up at https://github.com/conda-forge/librosa-feedstock/issues - conda-forge is a different organization from conda/Anaconda. Anaconda does not maintain that package.
