The newer conda seems to have fixed this particular issue.

`conda init bash` now does not give an error, but does give a "Password: "-prompt, presumably to try to edit bashrc files in the store. Nevertheless, one can ctrl-C out of it, and then your `.bashrc` is properly updated.

Still ugly, but I suppose we can close this issue.

Using conda on guix is still ugly though. In particular, once you successfully initialized bash, your prompt is broken, see https://issues.guix.gnu.org/59774 . (I'm now using starship, and that fixes the prompt again.)

In in intervening years I've stopped worrying about conda, because Guix solves the same problem as conda solved, but better. So I used those problems to wean myself away from conda. I use rootless podman containers whenever I want something that I cannot yet do in Guix, so (almost...) no need for conda anymore.
