Could not find URL: https://conda.binstar.org/scikit/win-64/

Question

I have anaconda installed.

Using Conda Launcher I get this error:

Error Fetching Package index:
Could not find URL: https://conda.binstar.org/scikit/win-64/

Something is amiss with scikit-learn and I cannot figure out exactly...is it missing on binstar? Here are a couple of screenshots if that helps: https://youtu.be/hrcJyaUWOho

Also, Conda info gives me the following info (of which I am not sure what requests version stands for...)

C:\Users\kumar>conda info

Where did you get this https://conda.binstar.org/scikit-learn/win-64/ url? It's a 404 error and I can't find any information/archive on that link.

Also, scikit-learn is by default included in the official repository of continuum (here)and comes bundled with Anaconda so I don't understand why you would want to set up an additional binstar repo for this.

I suggest you delete this manually added channel. This can be done from the Launcher itself clicking on "Manage channels" in the top right corner.
