'Conda always shows '[y/N]' then nothing happen

OS: MacOS X 10.15.1

I met a problem that my Conda always shows [y/N] whatever command I input:

such as:

$ conda list
[y/N]:y

$ conda info
[y/N]:y

And after I input 'y', nothing happened and the process ends.

what I have tried: Reinstall Anaconda:

$ bash ~/Downloads/Anaconda3-2019.10-MacOSX-x86_64.sh

then after plenty of 'Extracting' it shows again.

(Extracting...)
[y/N]: %

Again, it ends.

conda

Solution 1:^[1]

The reason is some setting in '~/.condarc'. After I delete it, the problem solved, and Conda works well.

$ rm ~/.condarc

Another reason this can happen is if you have a conda environment already active that might be 'broken' in some way. To fix it:

conda deactivate

Then try your conda command again.

i had same issue and i fixed by updating anaconda sudo conda update anaconda command

I had the same issue, it was due to OOM (out of memory) on the system.
