Rust cargo cannot find postgres package

Question

I have this in Cargo.toml

[dependencies.postgres]

git = "https://github.com/sfackler/rust-postgres.git"

This resulted in the following output, when running cargo build:

$ cargo build -u
    Updating git repository `https://github.com/sfackler/rust-postgres.git`
No package named `postgres` found (required by `hello-world`).
Location searched: https://github.com/sfackler/rust-postgres.git
Version required: *

What am I missing here?

Answer 1

Change [dependencies.postgres] [dependencies.rust-postgres]

The reason for this is: Cargo.toml of that package is defines the package name as rust-postgres, and this needs to match.

Note however, that it also defines the name of its lib as just postgres. So you would do extern crate postgres;(not extern crate rust-postgres;)
