Conda updates packages that I don't use

I noticed a strange behavior. I ran conda update --all in base environment and got the following output:

The following packages will be downloaded:

    package                    |            build
    ---------------------------|-----------------
    conda-4.8.3                |           py37_0         2.8 MB
    idna-2.9                   |             py_1          49 KB
    pycparser-2.20             |             py_0          92 KB
    tqdm-4.43.0                |             py_0          56 KB
    ------------------------------------------------------------
                                           Total:         3.0 MB

I don't have tqdm package installed, though conda updates it. Why is this happening? When I run conda list -n base there is no package tqdm, neither in any other environment.

Thanks!

conda depends on conda-package-handling

conda-package-handling depends on tqdm

if you don't think you have it installed, you need to look closer. conda update --all will try to update anything you have installed.
