trying to install the conda stack with eups distributed anaconda does not fail helpfully

[danielsf]

It is possible (however ill-advised) to run

conda install lsst-apps

from the anaconda/miniconda that you get when you run newinstall.sh

This fails (as it should) because you suddenly have to conflicting copies of EUPS on your machine, but it does not fail in a way that tells you why. We should probably have a helpful failure message here informing the user what he or she did wrong.

Wow - somebody actually tried that?

Note to self: the way to fix this is by having the eups stub check that EUPS_DIR is pointing to the conda-in installed EUPS.
