I noticed that (in EESSI/software-layer#1405), that
jupyter-server-2.16.0-GCCcore-14.2.0.ebbuilds fine withEasyBuild/5.2.0but errors (in EESSI) due to a copy failure for one of the easyblocks used.I tracked this down to https://github.com/easybuilders/easybuild-easyblocks/pull/3993/changes#diff-8c64eeef13a658d3b3982cea75b316a70b272ece82de8f5d1a634dd2252071f9 which seems to trigger attempting to copy the cargo easyblock twice to the
reprodfolder. Since the permissions in EESSI are read-only, the copy fails to overwrite the previously copied file. This change makes things more forgiving (if the contents are already the same, just update thexattrs).
