Confusing component add error message #3418
Description
Problem
I tried to add component miri and received the following message:
$ rustup component add miri
error: component 'miri' for target 'x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu' is unavailable for download for channel '1.69.0'
If you don't need the component, you can remove it with:
rustup component remove --toolchain 1.69.0 --target x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu miri
I.e., I tried to add the component (unsuccessfully), and the instructions tell me how to remove it.
Steps
Run rustup component add miri in a directory where x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu is the default toolchain.
Possible Solution(s)
Adjust or eliminate the irrelevant error message.

Yes, this is clearly confusing. Probably a error type used in two different places, or perhaps a context message added inappropriately. Searching for the string should let someone find the code and start looking at it readily enough.

@rbtcollins Claim. 1

Is there a place for me to claim this issue instead of simply replying with "claim"? ↩

The original error message assumes that you are updating an existing toolchain but some components are no longer available. The full error message template is as follows:
Or, if there are multiple components missing:
I believe the aforementioned situation (where a toolchain update can be "incomplete" in terms of components) is exclusive to nightlies. Is that correct, @rbtcollins?
... or I can simply say something like "if you are updating an existing toolchain and you don't need the component(s)..."
Footnotes
This line is removed when the toolchain is not nightly. ↩
