For me, the command causing the error is as follows:

curl --dump-header /tmp/curl-header59263-0 -fL -o /home/heitor/.ghcup/cache/ghcup-0.0.8.yaml.tmp https://raw.githubusercontent.com/haskell/ghcup-metadata/master/ghcup-0.0.8.yaml

I then create two directories with write permissions: "x" and ".x". Running the command so that these directories are the destination directories, I get the following result:

heitor@heitor-kubuntu:~$ curl -o x/ghcup-0.0.8.yaml  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/haskell/ghcup-metadata/master/ghcup-0.0.8.yaml

  curl: (23) Failure writing output to destination

I then get the impression that the error is due to writing the destination file in a directory starting with a dot ".", in this case, the ".ghcup" directory used by the installation script.

Is my analysis correct? If so, how can I suggest a fix for the installation script? If not, what am I doing wrong?

Reasons:
  • Blacklisted phrase (0.5): how can I
