Specifics

This is on the command line, and I have tried it with 8.1.2 (the current version with Ubuntu 22.04) and 8.1.12. I get the same error.
This is a new VPS that has been up for less than a week at this point. Everything is up to date.

Steps to reproduce

This happens every time I run the installer script.

Expected result

New install

Ok, I have found the root cause of the issue. If you are using the default composer from apt in Ubuntu 22.04, with version 2.2.6, then the code in Script.php will fire (it is inside an if block that checks the version of composer). Once I update to a more recent version of composer it worked as expected.
