Answer 1

Edit your file ~/.condarc and take out the lines that include pypi.*. These are not valid conda channels.

Answer 2

I resolved it by applying the following commands in the terminal:

1. conda info

2. cd to config file (cd /Users/select/the/folder/where/config/file/is)

3. open .condarc (textEdit app opened the file automatically)

   From the textEdit: delete https://pypi.python.org/pypi/ and save and close .condarc file

4. conda info (to check it deleted it)

5. conda update conda

6. conda update anaconda

Answer 3

Install MiniConda

sh Miniconda2-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh -f

In the same folder of previous conda It will solve all conda related problem

Works for me as charm
