Description Helmut Jarausch 2018-11-16 11:00:02 UTC

I have dev-lang/rust-1.30.1-r1 and virtual/cargo-1.30.1 installed here.
Installing firefox and thunderbird both fail with

 0:04.77 checking rustc version... 1.30.1
 0:04.77 ERROR: Cargo package manager not found.


qlist dev-lang/rust showed that there is (only) the binary /usr/bin/cargo-1.30.1

By adding a symlink in /usr/bin
ln -s cargo-1.30.1 cargo

I could fix the problem.
Probably, that's a bug in dev-lang/cargo.

Yes, it is already reported in Bug 671182

Comment 2 josef.95 2018-11-16 11:14:35 UTC

Set the rust version new via `eselect rust set rust-1.30.1`
fixed the issue :)

Same problem here.  On several up to date Gentoo unstable amd64.

This did not help, as it was already set:

eselect rust set rust-1.30.1

But this worked for me:

ln -s cargo-1.30.1 cargo
