Hi,

seems to be a packaging issue for (mini)mamba (info/index.json is a missing file that not belongs to xmlschema source package and i don't find a reason related to xmlschema source in the error message).

I'll try to reproduce in a similar installation but my advice is to report this also to mamba maintainers.
