You likely have an incompatibility in your environment. Can you specify how you created the environment, perhaps run conda list to show the versions of all the packages you have? Note that with the standard Anaconda installer, spyder lives in your base environment, so you should always run it from the base env, and there should be no need to try to install it in any other env.

I have the same problem. This is on linux. My list of installed packages (just conda/anaconda/spyder and jinja2, let me know if you need more) is…

% egrep -e ‘anaconda|spyder|jinja2’ conda.list.base.20230114.log

packages in environment at /users/whdaffer/anaconda3:

I see its an old post but we ran into the same thing with one of our users. We were not able to find the root cause however the workaround was to use a new environment instead of the base and install the version of Spyder that was available. Wanted to share in case someone runs into the same issue.
