No module named 'menuinst'

[Ciaran1981]

Problem Description

Upon almost finishing an install in a new conda env (nothing else in there) the following (see traceback) is returned and spyder does not install, claiming menuinst is not installed.

Of course I installed menuinst and reran, but got the same message. I have tried clearing the cache etc and rerunning but still the same.

What steps reproduce the problem?

1. conda create -n 'test'
2. mamba install spyder

Paste Traceback/Error Below (if applicable)

@Ciaran1981, this was solved by conda-forge/spyder-feedstock#188, so I'm going to close this issue.

Thanks for taking the time to report this error.
