Research direction

Reproduce the failure using the linked sam-build-example repository and sam build with Amazon.Lambda.Tools already installed in the Docker image. Then read the DotnetCliPackageBuilder workflow, especially aws_lambda_builders/workflows/dotnet_cli_package/actions.py, and verify the fix by confirming the build succeeds in that environment.

Description

When using a Docker image which has the dotnet tool "Amazon.Lambda.Tools" already installed, the command sam build will fail when trying to update the tool. It's something about hardlinks which I'm not knowledgeable enough about Docker to speculate on.

Steps to reproduce

As documented in the example repository I created.

Expected result

A successful build. Whether that's via a successful update of the tool or via not trying to update the tool (or some other thing?), I have no opinion.

Additional environment details (Ex: Windows, Mac, Amazon Linux etc)
  1. OS: In the example case, Amazon Linux.
  2. sam --version: SAM CLI, version 0.19.0
