instructions for updating from Astropy 1.x to Astropy 2.x in Anaconda

See original GitHub issue

I am using conda on OSX and when I follow the conda installation instructions here it seems to not update to 2 but leaves me with 1.x. See below.

I think there is some missing magic incantation needed in the docs?

I guess we could create a ‘known issue’ for ‘conda won’t update astropy to the latest version’ and just say to specify the version manually to show conflict info.

This is normal conda behaviour that does affect all conda packages not at all astropy specific. I suggest to close this issue.

If you disagree please open a PR instead with the proposed piece of documentation.
