Hi,

I am having issues installing the latest qiime2-amplicon-2025.4. I am using the code from [QIIME 2 Library](https://library.qiime2.org/quickstart/amplicon#id-3-install-the-base-distributions-conda-environment) for macos (intel)  
Note the MOSHPIT installed fine with out error.  
This is the error message  
Channels:

- conda-forge
- bioconda

LibMambaUnsatisfiableError: Encountered problems while solving:
- package deblur-1.1.1-pyhdfd78af\_0 requires sortmerna 2.0, but none of the providers can be installed  
Could not solve for environment specs  
The following package could not be installed  
└─ deblur 1.1.1\*\* is not installable because it requires  
└─ sortmerna 2.0 , which conflicts with any installable versions previously reported.

Would be great if you could please provide some guidance.

Many thanks

It appears you are running into the same issue as outlined here:

> Hello @Enrique_Perez, You can change the channel priority to flexible with the following command: conda config --set channel\_priority flexible

That is, try setting:

```auto
conda config --set channel_priority flexible

```
