If you make a noarch package depending on a package only available on a different python version, where here stupid-dummy-dep is a noarch package depending on enum34 but trying to be installed on python 3.6:

UnsatisfiableError: The following specifications were found to be in conflict:
  - python 3.6*
  - stupid-dummy-dep -> enum34 -> ordereddict -> python 2.6*
Use "conda info <package>" to see the dependencies for each package.

If you make a noarch package with a dependency only available on a different architecture, where here stupid-dummy-maconly is a noarch package, stupid-dummy is a package only available on Mac (sorry for bad names, they should probably be swapped), and I’m trying to install it on Linux:

PackageNotFoundError: Packages missing in current channels:

  - stupid-dummy-maconly -> stupid-dummy

We have searched for the packages in the following channels:

Pretty informative error messages, IMO, which makes me 👍 for allowing this.
