Cannot update on FreeBSD

[alexreg]

Rustup has not been able to update Rust on FreeBSD for a while now. I get this error message:

$ rustup update
info: syncing channel updates for 'stable-x86_64-unknown-freebsd'
info: syncing channel updates for 'nightly-x86_64-unknown-freebsd'
info: latest update on 2018-04-08, rust version 1.27.0-nightly (056f589fb 2018-04-07)
error: component 'rust-docs' for 'x86_64-unknown-freebsd' is unavailable for download
info: checking for self-updates

       stable-x86_64-unknown-freebsd unchanged - rustc 1.25.0 (84203cac6 2018-03-25)
  nightly-x86_64-unknown-freebsd update failed - rustc 1.26.0-nightly (75af15ee6 2018-03-20)

So, the docs component is presumably missing (not built?), and this is causing the update to fail.

Try to remove ~/.rustup and ~/.cargo and run script from https://rustup.rs/

%  rustup show
Default host: x86_64-unknown-freebsd

nightly-x86_64-unknown-freebsd (default)
rustc 1.27.0-nightly (7360d6dd6 2018-04-15)

Thanks, that does the trick. Not sure how things got corrupted!

I'm experiencing this issue on a fresh jail with an empty .rustup and .cargo dir. I can install nightly, but not stable.

>rustup toolchain install stable

This is a duplicate of rust-lang/rust#49462 .

@asomers no, it's not, actually. Even the nightly toolchain doesn't install without deleting ~/.rustup under freebsd.
