Conda update Conda fails

ERROR conda.core.link:_execute_actions(339): An error occurred while installing package 'defaults::tqdm-4.32.1-py_0'.
CondaError: Cannot link a source that does not exist. C:\intelpython3\Scripts\conda.exe
Running `conda clean --packages` may resolve your problem.

Scripts\Activate
conda update conda
conda install pyodbc pymssql sqlalchemy seaborn ipython xlrd xlwt openpyxl
conda install spyder jupyter

Now, it consistently dies on step 4, and the later steps do not work at all. Intel, please fix this.

My problem was solved by modifying this file:

C:\Users\pbusser\.condarc

https: https://proxy-us.intel.com:912 ; <-- add

channels:
- intel
- defaults
