Standalone 1.66.0 x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu installer fails with --without=rust-docs option

[acfoltzer]

If I untar the standalone installer and run it thusly, it fails (this example in a fresh ubuntu:latest docker container):

root@90bec9bc7367:/tmp/rust-1.66.0-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu# /bin/bash install.sh --without=rust-docs
install: creating uninstall script at /usr/local/lib/rustlib/uninstall.sh
install: installing component 'rustc'
install: installing component 'rust-std-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu'
install: installing component '-json-preview'
install: error: manifest for -json-preview does not exist at /tmp/rust-1.66.0-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/-json-preview/manifest.in. see logs at '/usr/local/lib/rustlib/install.log'

The referenced log file looked successful until the -json-preview step showed up. Here's the last few lines:

The only hit I got for "-json-preview" is in this issue where it sounds like it affected nightly packages: compiler-explorer/compiler-explorer#4345

We depend on the standalone installers for building internal distribution packages, so this is currently a blocker for us to upgrade to 1.66.0. Thank you for taking a look 🙏🏻

I believe this may be a duplicate of #105755.

Yes! Somehow that didn't come up in my search for -json-preview. Thanks for the pointer
