[Samy-33]

Facing the same issue.

[tydra-wang]

I found out my issue was due to a permission problem. The existing file ~/.local/share/nvim/mason/registries/github/mason-org/mason-registry/registry.json.zip is owned by root, for reasons unknown. Deleting registry.json.zip fixed it.

[Samy-33]

I confirm that ~/.local/share/nvim/mason/registries/github/mason-org/mason-registry/registry.json.zip is owned by root and updating the owner to the current user fixed the issue as well.

Thanks @tydra-wang

[nfgferreira]

Same error here, but the core apps are OK and the said zip file is not root's. I suspect the issue happens because I am behind a corporate network. I can access GitHub but cannot download from many other addresses. I suspect perhaps the installer tries to access an URL not allowed for me. Any tips? Thanks

[notno]

Ditto for me. Core apps ok, zip file permissions ok, also behind a corporate network.

[jrschenk]

I'm using the NVIM nightly build and after updating this morning the error occurred. checkhealth shows that the core utilities are not available. I was able to track the error to the nvim commit c5af5c0b which has something to do with faster vim.deprecate(). Maybe this helps.

[Tainted-Fool]

@jrschenk i was experiencing this problem and your solution solved my issue. I had to switch nvim commit to git checkout a4fc3bb0e and then rebuild it

[cleong14]

Tested and confirmed nightly build has been fixed thanks to commit 1294е22.

[thecode-master-sy]

seems like this issue has been resolved
