Conda doesn't find existent binstar package

I'm trying to install the hdf5storage package for my Python 3 installation on a 64-Bit Windows 8 machine using Anaconda. Just to make sure that everything was up to date, I did a

C:\Users\Baeuerle>conda install binstar
Fetching package metadata: ..
Solving package specifications: .
Package plan for installation in environment C:\Anaconda3:

The following packages will be downloaded:

    package                    |            build

Proceed ([y]/n)?

first. Then I did:

C:\Users\Baeuerle>binstar show auto/hdf5storage
Using binstar api site https://api.binstar.org
Name:    hdf5storage
Summary: https://github.com/frejanordsiek/hdf5storage
Access:  public
Package Types:  conda
Versions:
   + 0.1.1

To install this package with conda run:
     conda install --channel https://conda.binstar.org/auto hdf5storage

C:\Users\Baeuerle>conda install --channel https://conda.binstar.org/auto hdf5storage
Fetching package metadata: ...
Error: No packages found in current win-64 channels matching: hdf5storage

You can search for this package on Binstar with

    binstar search -t conda hdf5storage

C:\Users\Baeuerle>

So what's the problem here? Obviously the package is there and I used the recommended command. Why can't conda find it then? Is this an 64-bit issue and if so what would be the best way to install hdf5storage through anaconda?

I had the exact same problem with the graph-tool package and the sigcpp dependency. I'm on osx Yosemite 10.10.

I wanted to install graph-tool. Found the right package for osX on binstar.

conda install --channel https://conda.anaconda.org/vgauthier graph-tool

and always had the following message

Error: Could not find some dependencies for graph-tool: sigcpp

Although sigcpp was already installed

conda install sigcpp
Fetching package metadata: ..........
Solving package specifications: .
# All requested packages already installed.
# packages in environment at /Users/aperrier/anaconda/envs/py34:
#
sigcpp                    2.3.1                         2

What ended up working is to add the channel first to conda and then to install sigcpp and graph-tool

conda config --add channels https://conda.binstar.org/cyclus
conda install sigcpp

Was told that the package was already existing. However then graph-tool install worked

conda config --add channels https://conda.binstar.org/vgauthier
conda install graph-tool

And I was able to finally import graph_tool in ipython

This makes no sense to me but maybe that will help someone with the same problem.
