Unexpected error: `gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file`

[lucetre]

We have encountered with an unexpected error as below (resolved after rerunning the failed job). We are now using imjasonh/setup-crane@v0.1. Do you guys have any idea about why it has been happened or how to prevent this misbehavior? Thanks in advance.

+ case latest-release in
++ curl -s -u username:*** https://api.github.com/repos/google/go-containerregistry/releases/latest
++ jq -r .tag_name
+ tag=v0.13.0
+ os=Linux
+ [[ Linux == \m\a\c\O\S ]]
+ [[ ! -z v0.13.0 ]]
+ echo 'Installing crane @ v0.13.0 for Linux'

I've seen this as well recently. I believe this is due to an error when GitHub serves the content. If the stream is broken during download, the file will be incomplete, and gzipping it fails due to reaching the end of the file unexpectedly.

It's possible the installer action could detect this better and retry the download, but it's pretty tough to test since GitHub usually serves the content without any issue.

If you're seeing this repeatedly and ideally reproducibly, that would be helpful to know.

Then rerunning would be the solution for now. Thank you so much for your answer.
