Conda and pip crash with ../sysdeps/posix/getaddrinfo.c:2583: getaddrinfo: Assertion

[linyopt]

• A brief description
  I just do nothing and then conda and pip crashed when I want to install or update some packages.
  apt-get and curl,wget works well.
  Error when running sudo apt-get update on build 14372 #614 doesn't work for me.

• Expected results
  It should begin to install packages.

• Actual results (with terminal output if applicable)
  When I enter command conda update conda, terminal output is Fetching package metadata ...python: ../sysdeps/posix/getaddrinfo.c:2583: getaddrinfo: Assertion '(__extension__ ({ const struct in6_addr *__a = (const struct in6_addr *) (sin6->sin6_addr.__in6_u.__u6_addr32); __a->__in6_u.__u6_addr32[0] == 0 && __a->__in6_u.__u6_addr32[1] == 0 && __a->__in6_u.__u6_addr32[2] == __bswap_32 (0xffff); }))' failed. Aborted (core dumped)

When I use pip, if the packages is already installed, it is ok, otherwise it crashes with the same output.

• Your Windows build number
  10.1.14393
• Steps / All commands required to reproduce the error from a brand new installation

What can I do to fix it? Thanks.

Thanks for opening this issue. When posting an issue the more information you can provide us the better job we can do to attempt to reproduce on our end and see what is wrong. I installed conda from here and after installing I was able to run "conda update conda" successfully.

https://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/Miniconda2-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh

I am running build 14963 so it's possible this was fixed after the Anniversary update.

This is same as #1202, #1113, #614 (and probably others). Was probably fixed in concert with #982.

@benhillis I'm sorry that I don't describe clearly.

Actually I can use conda well before, but I just install some desktop like unity and xfce4, then I remove them because they doesn't work, I'm now using mate.

The problem is, I use conda to install a package ,and find it doesn't work, in fact I don't know when it crash, or whether it crash because of what I do before or not.

@therealkenc I check them out before, all of them don't work for me, thanks anyway.

Now conda and pip works!!! But I do nothing to fix them.

I don't know what happen. I find pip works, and conda still crashes last night, but today I try them again, I find that conda may crash but it works when I try it again.

I try them many times before, they did crash everytime!

It's crazy. Thank you anyway.
