Rustup cannot install nightly due to conflict

#1

To reproduce the problem, I deleted ~/.rustup, then installed the stable version. But then:

$ rustup toolchain install nightly

I encounter the same issue (Kubuntu 18.04).

I was able to install both the beta toolchain and the previous nightly successfuly with:

rustup install nightly-2018-12-24

Looks like the issue has been identified and hopefully fixed for tomorrow’s nightly: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/57111
