[gdal-dev] conda conflicts

[László Sándor]

Hi,

Anaconda repo, and even tried a Homebrew installation. I cannot get a
working installation on my mac.

or not, or specify the conda-forge channel or not.

gdal                           3.0.2  py37hbe65578_0  pkgs/main

I was actually hoping to get a simple operation done (below), sorry for all
this trouble!
