I have encountered a similar problem, what I did to solve the problem was I removed all of those libraries which causing errors, by editing the .yml file. Why I did this? because some of packages are actually just support packages to others, which in my case the version of those packages didn't available any longer or didn't fit, but don't worry, once you update the .yml and re-run the command again, which in your case is "conda env create -f tfdl_env.yml", those failed package will be installed accordingly, triggered by the main packages that requiring those packages and find the most suited package.

Hope it helps.
