Hi, Andreas.

After reading Steffen's message about "conda" on the Wiki, I cloned your 
version from:

> https://salsa.debian.org/med-team/conda

In the course of trying to work out how to build and install "conda" I 
came across the "anaconda"RPM and Debian Repositories for Miniconda:

> https://conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/install/rpm-debian.html

I added the "anaconda" Debian repository on my computer "sei" and 
installed the "conda" package without any issues under Ubuntu-MATE 18.04 
LTS - It provides an up-to-date "conda":

> root@sei:~# source /opt/conda/etc/profile.d/conda.sh
> root@sei:~# which -a conda
> /opt/conda/condabin/conda
> root@sei:~# conda -V
> conda 4.8.3

Does this make us packaging "conda" for Debian-Med redundant?

Bye,

  Tony.
