rustup nightly install failing

[davidroeca]

Just getting back into rust and installed rustup. Tried to install the nightly build and encountered the following error:

$ rustup install nightly
info: syncing channel updates for 'nightly-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu'
info: downloading component 'rustc'

info: caused by: No such file or directory (os error 2)

Not sure if this is a nightly issue, a rustup issue, or my own lack of experience with rustup. Currently running Linux Mint 18

Same issue on macOS 11.12

I can confirm on Ubuntu 17.04. rustup update is broken as well. @davidroeca this is a very recent issue.

Here is what I get after installing the current rustup from git (to get debug info and backtraces):

strace output:

Ok, the problem seems to be that the tar.gz generation changed and no longer includes directory entries, so the tar.gz extractor used by rustup no longer creates any directories.

[jonhoo]

Can confirm on Arch Linux as well.

[alexcrichton]

@ranma42 this is likely related to rust-lang/rust#41600, notably this range of changes, mind taking a look?

[brson]

Thanks for investigating @TimNN.

I might guess it was this PR updating rust-installer that caused the change on Rust's side.

[brson]

Damn you @alexcrichton!

[TimNN]

This causes the problem, I think rust-lang/rust-installer@4f99485...4cf7397#diff-534b12d64247754d4938410a9ba07bd3R274

find "$CFG_INPUT" \( -type d -empty \) -or \( -not -type d \) \
    | rev | sort | rev | tar -cf "$CFG_OUTPUT.tar" -T -
need_ok "failed to tar"

Not a find expert here, but I think that means that only empty directories are included in the output .tar (and files, of course).

[TimNN]

Rustup does the unpacking of tar files here: https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/rustup.rs/blob/master/src/rustup-dist/src/component/package.rs#L202, however unpack requires all intermediary directories to have been created: https://docs.rs/tar/0.4.11/tar/struct.Entry.html#method.unpack

[brson]

Is it obvious to anyone how to change the tar command to include the directories again? I think we could just remove all of "( -type d -empty ) -or ( -not -type d ) " but I'm not sure.

Safe thing would be to just revert rust-installer.

@alexcrichton What time does the next nightly start building?

[alexcrichton]

@brson needs to be past @bors by 0:00 UTC which gives us ~19 hours from this comment

[jonhoo]

@brson I believe the find options can be removed, and in fact that point we could probably just use tar directly instead of using find at all..
