error: some components unavailable for download for channel stable: 'clippy', 'rustfmt'
If you require these components, please install and use the latest successful build version,
which you can find at https://rust-lang.github.io/rustup-components-history.
After determining the correct date, install it with a command such as:
rustup toolchain install nightly-2018-12-27
Then you can use the toolchain with commands such as:
You can try to choose custom installation and then enter nightly-2019-10-13 as default toolchain. That is the latest nightly with rustfmt and clippy available.
Edit: You could try to set the profile to minimal after choosing custom installation. That will prevent installation of clippy and rustfmt.
Tier 2 platforms can be thought of as "guaranteed to build". Automated tests are not run so it's not guaranteed to produce a working build, but platforms often work to quite a good degree and patches are always welcome!
