(micro)mamba cannot install local::package, but it does find -c local package

[jaimergp]

Troubleshooting docs

• My problem is not solved in the Troubleshooting docs

Anaconda default channels

• I do NOT use the Anaconda default channels (pkgs/* etc.)

How did you install Mamba?

Mambaforge or latest Miniforge

Search tried in issue tracker

local::

Latest version of Mamba

• My problem is not solved with the latest version

Tried in Conda?

I have this problem with Conda as well, without using Mamba

Describe your issue

Comes from conda/conda-libmamba-solver#398. conda-libmamba-solver inherits this problem. It does work with classic.

---

mamba is not compatible with the local::package-name specifiers. It does work when the local channel is specified separately via -c.

Logs:

• ❌ micromamba install local::test-package: local-colon-colon.txt
• ✅ micromamba install -c local test-package: c-local.txt

This is fixed in main, but not in 1.x branch.

On main, following works

micromamba install -c file:///home/isuru/distr2 file:///home/isuru/distr2::test-package
micromamba install -c local local::test-package
