Hi @cedricvidal,
Anaconda doesn't support an aarch64 build yet.
See here and can look through more information in similar issues raised by users.

Miniconda supports arm64 (aarch64) architecture so it can be used instead of conda debian package that is only available for amd64 (x86_64) architecture.

Currently this limitation should be noticed in the NOTES.
