Build failure when pulled in via cargo-outdated

[MaxG87]

I try do define a Rust base image to be used in several CI pipelines. This is what a MWE looks like:

ARG RUST_VERSION
FROM rust:${RUST_VERSION}-slim-bullseye

# The Rust base images seem to be created only once. Thus, in order to prevent
# using outdated packages, we need to update the image.
RUN apt update \
    && apt full-upgrade -y \
    && apt install -y curl git libssl-dev pkg-config \
    && apt clean \
    && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

RUN cargo install cargo-outdated

Note that I install curl and git via apt. Before adding curl the container build fine. After adding curl I got the following error message:

I find that puzzling and wanted to report the bug here. If you think the responsibility is with cargo-outdated, let me know. I'll open the ticket there.

edit: I forgot to add that this error appears when setting RUST_VERSION=1.82.0.

Which version of

• curl
• Rust toolchain
• cargo-outdated

you were using or installing?

[ehuss]

This does not look related to git2. The error is coming from building cargo-0.76.0 (which is quite an old version).

Thank you for the replies so far.

How can cargo be outdated if I am using the most recent Rust image? 1.82-slim-bullseye was published only four days ago.

https://crates.io/crates/cargo-outdated

The latest cargo-outdated (0.15.0) depends on an outdated [email protected] library, which is corresponding to Cargo 1.76.0. I suspect this is the root cause. There is already an open PR for it kbknapp/cargo-outdated#403.

[MaxG87]

Thank you for the hint. I will move this to cargo-outdated.
