Problem description

Hello. I'm trying to run :Mason command in neovim installed in alpine linux system, and getting an error mentioned in title. I've actually found the cause of this problem, so TLDR:

Mason falls back to using wget command because there's no curl installed. However, wget provided by alpine linux out of box is not the "default" wget, and it expects different command line args (see attached logs). So it fails because of that. Indeed, I easily fixed the problem by installing curl, but nonetherless, this error is confusing. Also, as shown by healthcheck, there might be similar problems with other commands like unzip as well (but I have yet to face such problems)

Expected behavior

:Mason works with no errors

Affected packages

The issue is most of these is that checking for "version" is not supported in Alpine binaries.

λ docker run -it alpine

Assuming used flags are universal, I propose using which command instead and achieve the exact same effect:

λ docker run -it alpine

/ # which gzip
/bin/gzip
/ # echo $?
0
/ # which wget
/usr/bin/wget
/ # echo $?
0
/ # which not_present_command
/ # echo $?
1

Hmmm... Seems "--help" could also work:

λ docker run -it alpine

	--spider	Only check URL existence: $? is 0 if exists
	--header STR	Add STR (of form 'header: value') to headers

	-o LOGFILE	Log messages to FILE

Also consistency is needed, some commands use "--help" and others "--version": https://github.com/williamboman/mason.nvim/blob/main/lua/mason/health.lua
