Can reproduce. While investigating further it seems that it tries to rename files (directories?) when there are no files in tmp folder.

error: could not rename component file from '~/.rustup/tmp/2zeb7e3cai7jyb70_dir/bk' to ~/.rustup/toolchains/nightly-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/share/doc'
error: could not rename component file from '~/.rustup/tmp/zrv312f0fx9o1pse_dir/bk' to '~/.rustup/toolchains/nightly-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/share/man'
error: could not rename component file from ~/.rustup/tmp/7hu9xs_6dmn72_ln_dir/bk' to ~/.rustup/toolchains/nightly-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/rustlib/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu'

ls -a ~/.rustup/tmp shows an empty folder

Not quite sure if they are added only during the update.

This just started happening on a CI setup of mine. Last successful build was 2018-12-24 16:23 UTC.

debian:latest docker image, and then:

curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf -o /tmp/rustup-init.sh
sh /tmp/rustup-init.sh -y --default-toolchain nightly

fails with:

appears to be a duplicate of #1590

[matthiaskrgr]

I think this is a duplicate of rust-lang/rust#57111 which has been addressed.
