Could not rename component directory

[leshow]

I'm not sure what's going on here, but it appears I can't update the nightly channel rls

Why is it removing my components? then trying to install things that depend on them?

I’ve just experienced a similar error.

Here is a few possibly interesting information:

Is that any help? What should I do to update my nightly installation?

Thanks.

This is probably an issue with different policies for installing the RLS across versions of Rustup. Currently we don't issue a nightly if tools like RLS and Rustfmt are broken (which is currently true). Older Rustup might not be expecting that. You could wait and try again in a few days when we issue a new nightly. If there is still a problem , then try updating Rustup before the toolchains.

Hey nrc! Thanks for the follow-up. I’ll try again with the next nightly build.

I've just hit similar issue but on stable:

Any idea?

I had the same problem. And this is first hit on duckduckgo - so I link to real problem: "No space left on device"

rust-lang/rustup#1245

[Kixunil]

Ah, thanks! Qubes only giving 2G of space to VMs is sometimes annoying...

[mirosval]

I have just run into the same problem, solved it by first uninstalling nightly and then installing it again:
rustup toolchain uninstall nightly-x86_64-apple-darwin
rustup toolchain install nightly

[LucasLarson]

@mirosval’s solution also works for stable-x86_64-apple-darwin:
rustup toolchain uninstall stable-x86_64-apple-darwin
rustup toolchain install stable-x86_64-apple-darwin
