When trying to run conda install pyproj (but this happens for any package name), I get this error:

WARNING: The conda.compat module is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.

What does that mean? I'm not sure what the conda.compat module is or why it's relevant to installing a package. I'm still able to install packages right now, but should I be worried?

I'm running on windows, and my anaconda version is 4.6.11

Update: conda 4.6.12 has been released, which removes the warning.

This is a bug in conda 4.6.11 as of April, 2019. It should be fixed in an upcoming version of conda. Quoting msarahan from the issue on GitHub:

Yep, it's a bug. We'll have a fix out early this week. Please ignore it for now. Fix is in #8507 if you'd like to hack it in to your installation yourself.

Nothing to worry about. It's just saying that the compat module will be removed in future since it is not relevant anymore.
