Hello, thanks for the report!
Have you tried with a new switch where you install it without upgrading? It is to understand better if it is a problem in the installation or with the upgrade process.

[puitgfr]

Hello, You're welcome! I've tried the following:

§ opam switch remove 4.14.2
§ opam switch create 4.14.2
.<><> Installing new switch packages <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Done.

Then:

§ opam install --yes dune
The following actions will be performed:
  ∗ install dune 3.17.2
