Description

### Describe the bug, including details regarding any error messages, version, and platform.

Trying to install arrow-cpp by
`conda install arrow-cpp`
or
`conda install -c conda-forge arrow-cpp`
I get

`InvalidArchiveError("Error with archive /home/alxneit/share/miniconda3/pkgs/arrow-cpp-11.0.0-h374c478_1.conda.`
`You probably need to delete and re-download or re-create this file.`
