Trying to do a fresh install on WSL2 Ubuntu using Homebrew and I get this:

Is this something I can work around or should this be reported on GitHub?

Your error may be WSL2 specific.

In the meantime you can always download a binary of hugo: Friendly reminder, you don't have to wait on a package manager
(you’ll need to tweak it for Linux)

Thanks, I had previously just installed it that way but did not enjoy keeping it manually upgraded. I was hoping to be able to install through the recommended path. May have to move back to that approach.

4

I had the same concern a while back — wrote a small shell script to automate the upgrade: Script to install latest hugo release on macos and ubuntu

As far as recommended path, I think that comes down to preference.

I assume pack.ag is the package mirror that brew uses on Linux…? And that it has some problems that I’ll assume will be fixed (everyone should face these problems).

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. Turns out my WSL system time was incorrect and so that was causing the errors.
