I stumbled upon the same problem. Weirdly, if I download the nupkg manually, it seems valid.

As a workaround, I downloaded the module to a local directory and told Install-Module to use that as the source repository:

mkdir C:\TempPackages
Invoke-WebRequest -UseBasicParsing -Uri 'https://www.powershellgallery.com/api/v2/package/PoshRSJob/1.7.4.4' -OutFile 'C:\TempPackages\PoshRSJob.1.7.4.4.nupkg'
Register-PSRepository -Name local -SourceLocation C:\TempPackages -InstallationPolicy Trusted
Install-Module PoshRSJob -Verbose -Scope AllUsers -Repository local

(On the same machine, other modules such as Az, Microsoft.Graph or Posh-ACME install from PSGallery perfectly fine.)

@jberezanski For me, the package installation cmd is part of the deployment script. So I am unable to preinstall the package on machine

Hi,

I can confirm I'm affected, using mcr.microsoft.com/powershell:latest in a Docker file.
