Description

It would be great if the Linux Mint update manager could also be used to update packages installed in conda environments through conda channels. Adding support for conda repositories in mintupdate shouldn't be hard, but you would also need a way of selecting which conda environments to apply the updates for (i.e. treating packages in different environments as different packages).

Research direction

Start by locating the package repository and environment-selection code in mintupdate, then define how conda channels and separate environments should be represented; done means conda packages can be updated for the selected environments without conflating packages across environments.
