installs failing: error decoding response body

[Munchotaur]

Hi,

Freshly installed Linux MX system here, rust version 1.83.0. When I try to use cargo binstall I see the following errors (verbose version):

 ~ cargo binstall -v --dry-run bat

What might be going wrong, or might I be doing wrong?

Thanks, I got a similar issue in #2003, the issue comes from reqwest 0.12.10 I believe.

If you build cargo-binstall via --locked, or you use the pre-built binary we provide on github, it should work fine.

[Munchotaur]

Yes, --locked worked perfectly. Thanks for the advice.

New reqwest version has released 0.12.11 which should fix this
