FileExistsError, version 1.7.1 (new installer)

• I have searched the issue tracker and believe that this is not a duplicate.

Steps to reproduce

pdm install

Actual behavior

  Retry failed jobs
  ✖ Install pytkdocs 0.11.1 failed

ERRORS:

[InstallationError]: Some package operations are not complete yet
Add '-v' to see the detailed traceback

pytkdocs 0.11.1 was built with Poetry with the following contents in pyproject.toml:

include = [
    "README.md",
    "pyproject.toml"
]

…which was known to cause problem with parallel installations (race conditions trying to remove/copy README.md and pyproject.toml from the root of site-packages). I since then removed this include from my Poetry projects, but old versions still suffer from it. This might also be the cause of this issue, though the tracebacks show FileExistsError on the scripts, not README/pyproject, so I’m not sure.

Other packages built the same way are triggering the same exceptions (git-changelog 0.4.2, failprint 0.6.2).

If you believe this issue should be opened in @pradyunsg’s installer instead, I’ll gladly move it there!

Expected behavior

It works with version 1.7.0.

Thanks for the information. It helps enlight the whole situation.

The first installation failed due to README.md racing, and the retry failed due to the scripts existing.
