Cargo-about is not in crates-io registry

Hi, I use NixOS with Home Manager and I’ve been getting an error that’s Rust related? While rebuilding, an error is thrown saying “could not find cargo-about in registry crates-io with version ^0.6”. Here’s the log:

This is currently a zed-editor issue wich has been resolved in nixpkgs-unstable but not yet in nixos-unstable. This will probably be fixed soon.

Hi there,
on my end I set my nixpkgs to the commit before the zed-editor change and was able to compile my system again…

nixpkgs.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs/750fef2"

Blocking all your system updates on an experimental editor doesn’t seem like the greatest idea IMO.

Per https://nixpkgs-tracker.ocfox.me/?pr=392319 the PR is almost to nixos-unstable.

In this case it will be just a few more hours to make it into the last missing channel, so probably not a big deal for a personal machine :person_shrugging:

What I meant was, they changed their flake input over this, they should remember to change it back. It’d be better to just use --override-input temporarily though, IMO.

EDIT: And it’s already reached nixos-unstable @megametres
