Describe the bug

all the other issues realted to this error message are either closed, or contain irrelevant information.

this is a trivial repro case that shows that the scripted dotnet sdk install is fundamentally broken.

Expected Behavior

don't be broken

Steps To Reproduce

run a rocky9 docker container:

docker run -it rockylinux:9 /bin/bash

in the container's bash prompt, run the following commands:

dnf install -qy libicu                               # required library
curl -s https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/scripts/v1/dotnet-install.sh | bash # install dotnet sdk
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.dotnet:$HOME/.dotnet/tools # add dotnet and tools to path
dotnet --info
dotnet tool install --global dotnet-outdated-tool   # install a tool
dotnet tool list --global                           # demonstrate that it's installed correctly
dotnet-outdated                                     # attempt to run it

this will install the latest dotnet SDK, install a command (dotnet-outdated-tool), and attempt to run it.

the entire output is:

Looks like this issue should be transferred to dotnet/sdk as it doesn't appear to be specific to ASP.NET Core.

[Spongman]

ugh. can you do that? or should i just duplicate it manually?

[martincostello]

I'm afraid not, I don't have the permissions to do that - otherwise I would have.
