Trying to install cargo-generate on Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS, first it complained about ssl, installed libssl with this command sudo apt-get install -y libssl-dev but now getting the error below.
How can I install cargo-generate on Ubuntu 20.04?
rustc --version
rustc 1.49.0 (e1884a8e3 2020-12-29)
cargo --version
cargo 1.49.0 (d00d64df9 2020-12-05)
cargo install cargo-generate

error: failed to compile `cargo-generate v0.5.1`, intermediate artifacts can be found at `/tmp/cargo-installtb5LHS`
Caused by:

To learn more, run the command again with --verbose.
This should (hopefully) be a temporary failure fixed in the cargo upstream (issue already closed).
Workaround:
cargo install cargo-generate --locked cargo
