RemoveError: 'packaging' is a dependency of conda and cannot be removed from
conda's operating environment.

I get the exact same error and have no idea what to do.

Edit: I was able to fix this by updating to a specific recent version with the command
conda install -n base -c defaults conda=25.3.0
