I spoke too soon. libdovi requires cargo which then tries to download
all of its dependendies, which obviously does not work within PMBS. I
suggest you'll find out all the special stuff required by libdovi's
cargo.toml and download that, so that it can be added as an additional
download tarball. FWIW, if I had known that before, I wouldn't have
added libdovi in the first place. cargo+rust is nothing which fits very
well with our offline build systems like OBS and PMBS, but that's just
my view.
