Hi,

I=E2=80=99ve updated community/cargo package and removed dependency on =
external prebuilt binary, so it now (make)depends on itself (you need =
cargo to build cargo=E2=80=A6 *#^@$~$+). This is not a new situation, we =
did the same with community/rust some time ago. IIRC it needed some =
manual intervention on build server, but don=E2=80=99t know any details. =
Unfortunately I cannot do anything with it, =E2=80=99cause I don=E2=80=99t=
 have access to the builder.

I changed the abuild to not use external prebuilt binary primarily =
because the old URI of prebuilt binaries built by upstream=E2=80=99s CI =
doesn=E2=80=99t work anymore. I didn=E2=80=99t find any other and if I =
understand their CI configuration, they don=E2=80=99t upload cargo built =
with musl anywhere (again!). However, we need cargo to build rust and we =
need rust to build cargo (*put some very angry and vulgar comment =
here*), so we must take cargo binary from somewhere when bootstrapping =
from scratch anyway.

So please someone make it work and it be nice if you=E2=80=99d also =
write what exactly was needed.
