Platform: linux-64

Collecting package metadata (repodata.json): done

Solving environment: failed

LibMambaUnsatisfiableError: Encountered problems while solving:

  • nothing provides __glibc >=2.28,<3.0.a0 needed by c-ares-1.34.2-heb4867d_0

Could not solve for environment specs

The following package could not be installed

└─ c-ares =1.34.2 * is not installable because it requires

└─ __glibc >=2.28,<3.0.0a0 *, which is missing on the system.

(base) [jkyin@bogon ~]$ conda --version

conda 25.9.0

Can you help?

Hi @jiakang_yin,

I used to run into these issues myself. Though, it appears that I do not run into these issues when using the latest version of miniforge and QIIME 2 (e.g. 2025.7). That being said, see the following threads I link to below.

-Cheers!

Thanks for your reply, I have read these threads previously, but have no idea to work it out. Thanks anyway.

Hi @jiakang_yin,

It'd help to let us know beforehand that you've read posts related to you issue. This way we do not waste your time sending you information you are already aware of. :wink:

Anyway, did you try installing using the latest miniforge and QIIME 2 version? Did you run into the same issue?

If so, then you might need to look into updating the OS or other base tools for the OS. :thinking:
