@spastorino Kinnison said on discord:

This happens if the component file gets corrupted. The easiest fix is to uninstall and reinstall the toolchain.

wheres the actual end of the output? I see the rollback start, but not the actual original error that triggered the rollback.

The could-not-renames are just symptoms of whatever the problem was I think

ohh yeah I see the problem

error: failed to install component: 'rust-docs-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu', detected conflict: '"share/doc/rust/html"'

Uninstalled and installed again and it's now working. Anyway, unsure what happened or how the component file got corrupted.

dup of #2417

Newbie to rust here. Exactly how to "uninstall and reinstall the toolchain", please? This is my year to grok rust and this is my first issue.

rustup toolchain uninstall stable && rustup toolchain install stable, replacing stable with the toolchain name that errored for you.

Thanks! I'm a pretty goof guesser, but I could've gone a long time before coming up wit that on my own!

what lol ! FR just trying the install again worked smh ugghhhh thanks all lol

Had the exact same problem, fixed by closing the IDE (vscode in my case) hehe

I think rust-analyzer plugin was blocking the folder.

@not4rt Thanks for the heads up. Given that, I think it'd be better to close this in favor of #2441.
