I guess wether or not you get away with type inference here depends on the rust version

I'm sorry, just realized this is an error in a dependency, not sinuous. Moved to here.

According to this comment, running cargo update in the workspace before building solves this. It's an install script issue, not a dependency issue.

Tried installing manually by cloning the repo and doing cargo install and it worked fine right out of the box.

Adding the line

cargo update

before

cargo build --release --locked --target-dir=target

in the PKGBUILD file belonging to the aur works! Got it to work by cloning the aur git repo, adding the line, then running makepkg.

Sorry I never replied. This one a rare occurence of a new version of the rust compiler breaking a dependency. This should have been fixed a long time ago now.
