cargo install fails at bitvec 1.0.1 for cli

Problem

cargo install dioxus-cli fails on wsl2 with rustc 1.79.0 with the log:

   Compiling bitvec v1.0.1
error: couldn't read `/home/suraj/.cargo/registry/src/index.crates.io-6f17d22bba15001f/bitvec-1.0.1/src/../doc/index.md`: No such file or directory (os error 2)

error: failed to compile `dioxus-cli v0.6.0`, intermediate artifacts can be found at `/tmp/cargo-install2Jc1wW`.
To reuse those artifacts with a future compilation, set the environment variable `CARGO_TARGET_DIR` to that path.

Expected behavior

dioxus-cli should install on wsl2

Environment:

• Rust version: 1.79.0, nightly
• OS info: wsl2

I was able to install it on my WSL. Perhaps your cache got corrupted somehow? I'd try removing /home/suraj/.cargo/registry/src/index.crates.io-6f17d22bba15001f/bitvec-1.0.1 and re-installing.

Strange bug - looks like bitvec hasn't been updated in 2 years.

https://crates.io/crates/bitvec

It's likely some flakey caching issues with cargo itself.

i tried as @DogeDark suggested but to no avail, any workaround would be appreciated @jkelleyrtp

[jkelleyrtp]

I can't find anything in the bitvec github about it not compiling so I imagine there might be an issue with the "../" syntax or maybe a caching issue with cargo. Try wiping your local registry and/or looking into how rust is installed in your environment.
