Using cargo install of 2.4.1 on Debian 12 - impossible to install because of env_logger version mismatch?

Author: trizzoskCreated Aug 18, 2025Updated Feb 10, 2026

Describe the bug Impossible to install 2.4.1 version on Debian 12. Using cargo I get this error:

bash

sudo cargo install rustscan
    Updating crates.io index
  Installing rustscan v2.4.1
error: failed to compile `rustscan v2.4.1`, intermediate artifacts can be found at `/tmp/cargo-installIR4XDS`

Caused by:
  failed to select a version for `env_logger`.
      ... required by package `rustscan v2.4.1`
  versions that meet the requirements `^0.11.6` are: 0.11.8, 0.11.7, 0.11.6

  the package `rustscan` depends on `env_logger`, with features: `anstream` but `env_logger` does not have these features.
   It has an optional dependency with that name, but that dependency uses the "dep:" syntax in the features table, so it does not have an implicit feature with that name.


  failed to select a version for `env_logger` which could resolve this conflict

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Open terminal on Debian 12
Run sudo cargo install rustscan
Conflict occurs

Expected behavior Installed rustscan.
