You are having issues with ssl. Some of these have entered in recent releases for us (using self signed keys) and so we have had to switch ssl_verification off in conda.

This wasn't enough though, and we also had to manually remove the REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE environment variable that we were using to specify the path to the SSL certificate.

# Remove SSL
conda config --set ssl_verify false
