Conda package finds conflicts on newly created env and fails to show them

I tried to install menpodetect after creating a new env in Anaconda

conda create --name detector
conda activate detector
conda install -c menpo menpodetect

Anaconda cloud: https://anaconda.org/menpo/menpodetect

This is the output of conda install -c menpo menpodetect

Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done
Solving environment: failed with initial frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve.
Solving environment: failed with repodata from current_repodata.json, will retry with next repodata source.
Collecting package metadata (repodata.json): done
Solving environment: failed with initial frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve.
Solving environment: -
Found conflicts! Looking for incompatible packages.
This can take several minutes.  Press CTRL-C to abort.\
failed

UnsatisfiableError:

python --version -> Python 3.7.4

conda list is empty (since the env has just been created)

What's wrong?

EDIT --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

conda install -c conda-forge menpodetect returns

Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done
Solving environment: failed with initial frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve.

The menpodetect team has dropped support for windows and does not plan to reintroduce it. The only version still available for windows is the 3 year old 0.5 version, as you can see on the anaconda website.

With a package that old, it can happen that not all dependencies are still available from the default channels. You can however still install it, if you use the free channel, which contains packages prior to September 2017. It was removed from conda defaults with 4.7.

Use:

conda install -c free -c menpo menpodetect

Depending on your usecase however, it might be preferable to switch to Linux or OSX to be able to install the latest version using James suggestion

Try installing it from the conda-forge channel. The author started migrating to that channel about a year ago.

conda install -c conda-forge menpodetect
