Question: I just run the command conda update conda. After that, all of my commands gives AttributeError: module 'brotli' has no attribute 'error'. I searched for solutions but none works. Anaconda Error - module 'brotli' has no attribute 'error' seems a reasonable answer but my anaconda3/lib directory does not contain a site-packages folder. The lib folder contains the following. cmake libicudata.so.72.1 libQt5Designer.so.5 libQt5X11Extras.so.5 cups libicui18n.so libQt5Designer.so.5.15 libQt5X11Extras.so.5.15 cyrillic_and_mic.so

Also any kind of command with conda gives the same error so conda install brotli solutions do not work. How can I proceed? (I am in a remote linux server)

Answer: Lib\site-packages\urllib3\response.py tries to import brotlicffi as brotli and then tries import brotli, which yields brotli.error AttributeError: module 'brotli' has no attribute 'error'. pip install brotlicffi fixes the error in conda. Here are the versions I ended up with. Upgrading conda removed brotlipy-0.7.0-py310h2bbff1b_1002 and added several brotli 1.0.9 pieces, perhaps missing as least one. conda list | grep brotli brotli 1.0.9 hcfcfb64_8 conda-forge brotli-bin 1.0.9 hcfcfb64_8 conda-forge brotlicffi 1.0.9.2 pypi_0 pypi libbrotlicommon 1.0.9 hcfcfb64_8 conda-forge libbrotlidec 1.0.9 hcfcfb64_8 conda-forge libbrotlienc 1.0.9 hcfcfb64_8 conda-forge  With conda working again, conda install brotlicffi cleans up the environment. Expect the following conda complaint; it will install enum34 to fix. You may have to repeat conda install brotlicffi The environment is inconsistent, please check the package plan carefully The following packages are causing the inconsistency: - pypi/pypi::brotlicffi==1.0.9.2=pypi_0  conda upgrade --all -n base should work normally.
