I'll look into that.

In the meantime, you should be able to install broot with

cargo install broot --locked

[dominix]

Thanks, it works with --locked. I'm too newbie to know this yet.

[Canop]

Using --locked is the prefered way to install any application, and how I describe it in https://dystroy.org/broot/install/#broot-installation.

What happens without --locked is that cargo doesn't use the version of the dependencies that are specified by the application maker but selects updated dependencies when available. And sometimes they're not compatible.

[Canop]

I released a new version, which makes --locked useless (until another dependency has a breaking change in a minor/patch version).

[dominix]

thanks @Canop for the good work. cheers from Uzes (Gard).
