Research direction

Reproduce the failure with cargo build --release --features cuda using the reported Cargo 1.76.0 environment, then trace Cargo's handling of the git dependency URL and candle-kernels package lookup. No source file or test is named in the report; done means identifying the cause, resolving the dependency correctly, and covering the failure with regression validation.

Description

A-git C-bug S-needs-info
Problem

I was trying to build Meilisearch with AI support and ran into this error. The URL resolves, so not sure what the issue might be.

cargo build --release --features cuda
    Updating crates.io index
error: failed to download `candle-kernels v0.3.1 (https://github.com/huggingface/candle.git#f4fcf609)`

Caused by:
  unable to get packages from source

Caused by:
  failed to find candle-kernels v0.3.1 (https://github.com/huggingface/candle.git#f4fcf609) in path source
note: this is an unexpected cargo internal error
note: we would appreciate a bug report: https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/
note: cargo 1.76.0 (c84b36747 2024-01-18)
Steps

Download Meilisearch and follow build instructions (which are really simple).

Possible Solution(s)

If I was to guess, I wonder if the hashtag is causing the issue?
