Does anyone else here have the following problem?

```julia
using Conda; Conda.update();

INFO: Recompiling stale cache file C:\Users\Ilja\.julia\lib\v0.6\Conda.ji for module Conda.
Solving environment: ...working... 
done

# All requested packages already installed.

==> WARNING: A newer version of conda exists. <==
  current version: 4.4.2
  latest version: 4.4.6

Please update conda by running

    $ conda update -n base conda

```

However, when I run `conda update -n base conda` in the PowerShell, I get the following message:

`CondaEnvironmentNotFoundError: Could not find environment: base .`

Running `Conda.runconda(`update -y conda`)` solved the problem.
