Creating conda env failed with exit code null

[lczech]

Hi there,

this error is similar to #116, but yet seems to be a different error, or caused by a different problem.

My GitHub Action step looks like this:

- name: Setup Conda
  uses: conda-incubator/setup-miniconda@v2.2.0
  with:
    environment-file: envs/grenepipe.yaml
    activate-environment: grenepipe

This results in the following error:

Updating 'grenepipe' env from conda env update...
  /usr/share/miniconda/condabin/conda env update --name grenepipe --file envs/grenepipe.yaml
  Collecting package metadata (repodata.json): ...working... done
  Solving environment: ...working... ::endgroup::
Error: The process '/usr/share/miniconda/condabin/conda' failed with exit code null

(that's the part that seems similar to #116).

I investigated a bit, and ran the command there (conda env update --name grenepipe --file envs/grenepipe.yaml) locally on my machine (Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS), with conda 22.9.0, and got an error as well:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_sysconfigdata_x86_64_conda_cos7_linux_gnu'

Full output

> conda env create --name grenepipe-update-test --file envs/grenepipe.yaml

An unexpected error has occurred. Conda has prepared the above report.

If submitted, this report will be used by core maintainers to improve
future releases of conda.
Would you like conda to send this report to the core maintainers? [y/N]: y
Upload successful.

Thank you for helping to improve conda.
Opt-in to always sending reports (and not see this message again)
by running

  $ conda config --set report_errors true

That looks more like an issue with conda than with setup-miniconda. The whole thing works nicely once I add mamba-version: "*" to the GitHub Action with: clause. This confirms that this issue is with conda.

However, I'm still opening the issue here in order to suggest that the output of the Action includes the full conda error output, to make debugging easier.

Cheers
Lucas
