Cause

The v2.2.0 release of the hashicorp/local provider contained release assets with incorrect checksums. This issue was corrected in the subsequent v2.2.1 release.

Solution

To resolve this issue, update your Terraform configuration to require at least version 2.2.1 of the local provider. This ensures Terraform downloads the corrected release asset.

terraform {
  required_providers {
    local = {
      source  = "hashicorp/local"
      version = "2.2.1"
    }
  }
}

Additional Information

For more details, refer to the official release notes for the corrected version.
