conda 4.7.7 ->4.6 - Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json) - (channel conda-forge) ipywidgets-5.2.3-py36_0 due to InvalidSpec: ==1.*
Solution 1
This solution helped my system, set a conda config parameter conda docs
conda config --set allow_conda_downgrades true
conda install conda=4.6.11
It works all right again.
Solution 2
I work with win10 1903, python 3.7 and conda 4.7.
I downgrade conda to 4.6.14 and reboot. Then everything works normally.
Solution 3
A new version of conda is out! version 4.7.10 It is out on the canary channel. Run the following command and check whether it fixes the issue:
conda update conda -c conda-canary
or:
conda update -n base -c defaults cond
As claimed in https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/8954, some issues related to conda are fixed.

conda update brakes everything.
conda env-solving took hours and forever
probably due to a conda optimization: https://www.anaconda.com/why-we-removed-the-free-channel-in-conda-4-7/
but that breaks many systems (like mine): https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/8844
got errors like
Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): - WARNING conda.models.version:get_matcher(531): Using .* with relational operator is superfluous and deprecated and will be removed in a future version of conda. Your spec was 1.*, but conda is ignoring the .* and treating it as 1 done Solving environment: failed with current_repodata.json, will retry with next repodata source. Initial quick solve with frozen env failed. Unfreezing env and trying again. Solving environment: failed with current_repodata.json, will retry with next repodata source. Collecting package metadata (repodata.json): done
so I downgraded to conda=4.6
but got
Collecting package metadata: / WARNING conda.core.index:push_record(193): Skipping conda-forge/label/broken/linux-64::ipywidgets-5.2.3-py36_0 due to InvalidSpec: ==1.* WARNING conda.core.index:push_record(193): Skipping conda-forge/label/broken/linux-64::ipywidgets-5.2.3-py27_0 due to InvalidSpec: ==1.* WARNING conda.core.index:push_record(193): Skipping conda-forge/label/broken/linux-64::ipywidgets-5.2.3-py35_0 due to InvalidSpec: ==1.* done Solving environment: failed InvalidVersionSpec: Invalid version '==1.*': invalid operator with '.*'
and
conda install conda=4.7 Collecting package metadata: failed CondaUpgradeError: This environment has previously been operated on by a conda version that's newer than the conda currently being used. A newer version of conda is required. target environment location: /home/aeug/conda current conda version: 4.6.0 minimum conda version: 4.7
Is there anything to fix the system / envs again?
All I can see is to reinstall with an good old conda 4.6.11
https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/
conda install conda=4.6 conda config --set pip_interop_enabled True
and I could rebuild the env with some errors but it took ~6 hours.
