Conda install nf-core cli on mac arm64 fails

[swingingsimian]

Description of the bug

Following the instructions here: https://nf-co.re/docs/nf-core-tools/installation#bioconda i.e. conda install nf-core, fails with the following error:

Error while loading conda entry point: conda-libmamba-solver (dlopen(/Users/nathanjohnson/miniconda3/lib/python3.12/site-packages/libmambapy/bindings.cpython-312-darwin.so, 0x0002): Library not loaded: @rpath/libarchive.20.dylib

A little googling led me to try the following to force install of the dependencies from the same channel, this takes a while to find a successful resolution, but does eventually work:

conda install --solver=classic conda-forge::conda-libmamba-solver conda-forge::libmamba conda-forge::libmambapy conda-forge::libarchive

This is on a very new M4 mac:
