The problem arises from Cargo.toml in / ticktock examples :
[dependencies.mosquitto] version = "*" path = "../../../rust-mosquitto"
When you load your project from git, all subdirectories are scanned for more Cargo.toml files. If you run RUST_LOG=trace cargo build -v , you will see what happens:
TRACE:cargo::ops::cargo_read_manifest: looking for root package: /Users/shep/.cargo/git/checkouts/rust-mosquitto-77eb7033f32b19c9/master, source_id=https://github.com/kteza1/rust-mosquitto#7e08a291 TRACE:cargo::ops::cargo_read_manifest: looking for child package: /Users/shep/.cargo/git/checkouts/rust-mosquitto-77eb7033f32b19c9/master TRACE:cargo::ops::cargo_read_manifest: read_package; path=/Users/shep/.cargo/git/checkouts/rust-mosquitto-77eb7033f32b19c9/master/Cargo.toml; source-id=https://github.com/kteza1/rust-mosquitto#7e08a291 TRACE:cargo::ops::cargo_read_manifest: looking for child package: /Users/shep/.cargo/git/checkouts/rust-mosquitto-77eb7033f32b19c9/master/.git TRACE:cargo::ops::cargo_read_manifest: not processing /Users/shep/.cargo/git/checkouts/rust-mosquitto-77eb7033f32b19c9/master/.git TRACE:cargo::ops::cargo_read_manifest: looking for child package: /Users/shep/.cargo/git/checkouts/rust-mosquitto-77eb7033f32b19c9/master/examples TRACE:cargo::ops::cargo_read_manifest: looking for child package: /Users/shep/.cargo/git/checkouts/rust-mosquitto-77eb7033f32b19c9/master/examples/c-mosquitto TRACE:cargo::ops::cargo_read_manifest: looking for child package: /Users/shep/.cargo/git/checkouts/rust-mosquitto-77eb7033f32b19c9/master/examples/ticktock TRACE:cargo::ops::cargo_read_manifest: read_package; path=/Users/shep/.cargo/git/checkouts/rust-mosquitto-77eb7033f32b19c9/master/examples/ticktock/Cargo.toml; source-id=https://github.com/kteza1/rust-mosquitto#7e08a291 DEBUG:cargo: handle_error; err=CliError { error: ChainedError { error: Unable to update https://github.com/kteza1/rust-mosquitto, cause: Could not find `Cargo.toml` in `/Users/shep/.cargo/git/checkouts/rust-mosquitto-77eb7033f32b19c9/rust-mosquitto` }, unknown: false, exit_code: 101 }
Then Cargo tries to make sure that the enclosed Cargo.toml can have all the dependent requests.
