What happened?

When attempting conda uninstall thing*thing, i.e. uninstalling all packages matching a wildcard, the libmamba solver never matches anything. Consider the following:

$ conda uninstall "lib*blas" --solver libmamba

PackagesNotFoundError: The following packages are missing from the target environment:
  - lib*blas

Specifying the classic solver resolves the right set of packages to remove:

$ conda uninstall "lib*blas" --solver classic
Collecting package metadata (repodata.json): done
Solving environment: done

## Package Plan ##

  environment location: /home/duncan/opt/mambaforge/envs/test

  removed specs:
    - lib*blas

TIL about that feature! I'll take look, thanks.
