The bug is actually dotnet/install-scripts#610 and it seems that _somehow_ the logic to determine the latest version is broken with cURL v8.14.0. Hard-coding the latest version seems to fix this. Note: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/3.1 says that v3.1.426 is the latest. This site also says that .NET Core 3.1 is out of support, and therefore it is unlikely that a different "latest" version is going to materialize, like, ever.
