The latest version of conda on conda-forge is 23.7.4 . My base environment has conda 23.5.0 (python 3.9.13). When I execute conda update -n base -c conda-forge conda, why does it say “All requested packages already installed”? Thanks.

You presumably have other packages (maybe mamba or boa or something like that) that prevent conda from being updated to the latest version because they have an upper bound on conda version. That would be my hunch. I have found that installing boa causes conda to be downgraded, for example.

### What happened?
I got update warning message but unable to update.
At first I created a new environment, and it asked me to:
```
==> WARNING: A newer version of conda exists. <==
current version: 22.9.0
latest version: 23.1.0
Please update conda by running
$ conda update -n base -c defaults conda
```
So I ran this command, but it turns that I can't update:
```
(env_name) user_name@node1:~$ conda update -n base -c defaults conda
Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done
Solving environment: done
==> WARNING: A newer version of conda exists. <==
current version: 22.9.0
latest version: 23.1.0
Please update conda by running
$ conda update -n base -c defaults conda
# All requested packages already installed.
Retrieving notices: ...working... done
```
I used `conda --version` and it returned `conda 22.9.0`, so in the end I failed to update conda.
I wonder how to tackle this problem?

Some have found that this works. In your case, you just need to substitute “defaults” with “conda-forge”.
