Hi, I just tried to install gamlass into my miniconda library using conda and got the following error message. I don't understand what the problem is. I've installed many r packages without problem.

Please advise.

Thank you!

$ conda install --channel https://conda.anaconda.org/bioconda r-gamlss

PS - I'm loading gamlss with conda so that I can use it in an R-powered Jupyter notebook.

I don't see any problems loading both packages in the same R session:

library(backports); library(gamlss)
Loading required package: splines
Loading required package: gamlss.data
Loading required package: gamlss.dist
Loading required package: MASS
Loading required package: nlme
Loading required package: parallel
 **********   GAMLSS Version 5.0-1  ********** 
For more on GAMLSS look at http://www.gamlss.org/

In fact, there is no connection between backports and gamlss. I don't know conda, but I guess the output is misleading and you probably just have to install a different R version for gamlss?

Can't fix, would need more info.
