gbouras13/phold#106

I use a Google Colab notebook to allow users to run my software pipeline. By default, I do this by installing the latest miniforge release, then installing some packages into the miniforge base env.

The notebook can be found here https://colab.research.google.com/github/gbouras13/phold/blob/main/run_pharokka_and_phold_and_phynteny.ipynb

This user reported an unusual error with mamba itself causing conflicts (see the issue linked above in Phold)

LibMambaUnsatisfiableError: Encountered problems while solving:

package libmamba-2.3.3-hae34dd5_0 requires libarchive >=3.8.2,<3.9.0a0, but none of the providers can be installed

When I replace the miniforge install in the notebook with the previous release as follows :

#wget -qnc https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge/releases/latest/download/Miniforge3-Linux-x86_64.sh
  wget -qnc https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge/releases/download/25.3.1-0/Miniforge3-25.3.1-0-Linux-x86_64.sh

The notebook runs without error
