cargo install cargo-binstall failing with gix-ref v0.41.0

[wasabrot]

Hello -

When running 'cargo install cargo-binstall' in docker, the install brakes with a compile error due to gix-ref crate. An issue has already been recorded here: Issue-Tracker git-ref

Try with Dockerfile:

FROM rust:1.75-bookworm as build
RUN cargo install cargo-binstall 
# fails as well: --version 1.6.2

Cloning cargo-binstall and compiling works, even with gix-ref v0.41.0; not sure what the issue actually is.

It's an upstream issue, it should work if you pass --locked to cargo-install.

Or you could use the official prebuilt version of cargo-binstall:

RUN curl -L --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cargo-bins/cargo-binstall/main/install-from-binstall-release.sh | bash
