Anaconda lib duplicates of libonedal_core

I'm looking through my Anaconda folders noticing what seem to be many duplicates. All these dupes are modified at the same time, all seem to have a version convention. They are not symlinks.

These files are very likely symbolic links (softlinks) to a single file. It would be better to examine such files with a ls -lh command from a shell, rather than through a GUI. For example, if I look at libmamba* in my base environment, I see

$ ls -lh ~/miniconda3/lib/libmamba*
-rwxrwxr-x  2 mfansler  staff   3.2M Aug 23 16:32 libmamba.2.0.0.dylib
lrwxr-xr-x  1 mfansler  staff    20B Sep 29 17:05 libmamba.2.dylib -> libmamba.2.0.0.dylib
lrwxr-xr-x  1 mfansler  staff    20B Sep 29 17:05 libmamba.dylib -> libmamba.2.0.0.dylib

where the arrows (->) represent symbolic links. Also notice how those are only 20 bytes.
