Passed with "classic" solver.

Package install time is slower: 00:05:38 ->

Before: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/ApacheSoftwareFoundation/arrow/builds/50676183?fullLog=true#L748

After: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/ApacheSoftwareFoundation/arrow/builds/50679973?fullLog=true#L920

This is slower but let's merge this to fix CI failures.

We may migrate to GitHub from AppVeyor: #42137
So this may be a temporary solution.
