ok, removed obsolete rust-std from the Requires but now the Firefox build tells me: [ 143s] 0:09.63 checking for rustc... /usr/bin/rustc [ 143s] 0:09.63 checking for cargo... /usr/bin/cargo [ 143s] 0:09.71 checking rustc version... 1.30.0 [ 143s] 0:09.76 checking cargo version... 1.27.0 [ 143s] 0:09.77 ERROR: Cargo package manager 1.27.0 is too old. [ 143s] 0:09.77 To compile Rust language sources please install at least [ 143s] 0:09.77 version 1.28.0 of 'cargo' and make sure it is first in your path. Was rust and cargo in the past switching version in the same pace. So rust 1.26 and cargo 0.27 or something? In any case the Firefox configure check expects this: rustc_min_version = Version('1.28.0') cargo_min_version = rustc_min_version So I expect we need cargo 1.28 at least as well.
