Summary: The new filesystem code accidentally asks for write attributes permissions when doing read-only access. I believe this is what's causing the GHC 8.6.1 tarballs to fail when installed to a privileged location. I haven't been able to reproduce the issue yet, but this permission bit is wrong anyway. Test Plan: I'm still trying to workout how to test that this works, changing the permissions on the folder doesn't seem to reproduce the error on a tarball I made from before the change.
