Hi @anderl80 !

Looks like it is a conda issue: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56084960/condavalueerror-malformed-version-string-invalid-characters . Could you try upgrading your conda with conda upgrade -n base conda and see if that helps, please?

[anderl80]

I will, it's a collaborativ system and I have to wait for operations to update the conda environment.

@anderl80 Any luck? 🙂 Another user (@andronovhopf ) has run into this issue and it was solved by updating conda.

[shcheklein]

@anderl80 btw, could you use a different method to install DVC on this system? E.g. snap or rpm package?

[anderl80]

I can use pip now 👌🏼. So then let’s close the ticket. Must talk to my customer on maintenance and updates 😉.

@anderl80 Sounds good :) Closing for now, please feel free to reopen.
