conda-installed openmm-torch is not compatible with nightly omnia-dev openmm conda installation

[dominicrufa]

Encountered problems while solving:
  - package openmm-torch-0.5-cuda112py39hb628e3f_0 requires openmm >=7.7.0,<7.8.0a0, but none of the providers can be installed

i installed openmm-torch from conda-forge, but it downgrades the nightly openmm installation. is there a workaround? or can the specs of the conda-forge openmm-torch be updated?

The pins of openmm-torch are exactly as they should for conda-forge. There is no a general way to make compatible with other arbitrary channels.

Short-term solution: you can try to circumvent the pins with conda install --force-reinstall --no-deps, but mostly likely it would results into broken environment due the binary incompatibilities. The more reliable way is just to build from source.

Long-term solution: set up the nightly builds of openmm-torch.

We maintain compatibility with the conda-forge channel only.
