Permission denied when recreating symlink

Solution to issue cannot be found in the documentation.

Issue

There seems to be an issue with the activate.sh script failing in case the user doesn't have permissions to modify the symlink.

For example, in the following Dockerfile, if the environment is activated by root, then all subsequent non-root user activations fail with

ln: failed to create symbolic link '/opt/conda/share/gdb/auto-load//opt/conda/lib/*.py': Permission denied 

FROM mambaorg/micromamba:git-3208378

RUN micromamba install -y -n base -c conda-forge libarrow

ARG MAMBA_DOCKERFILE_ACTIVATE=1

USER root

RUN echo "Environment containing libarrow activated as root"

USER $MAMBA_USER

RUN echo "Activate as user without root permission"

I'm not sure how to best mitigate this, but one simple idea would be to not recreate the symlink if it already exists and points to the correct location.
