This is beyond ridiculous. Someone just failed to dput 
rust-pathfinder-simd 0.5.5-1 (marked as released in git yesterday), 
making rust-font-kit 0.14.3-1 B-D uninstallable and librust-font-kit-dev 
0.14.2-2 uninstallable. That's been fixed now.

This marks the 3rd ordinary bug you needlessly cc to d-devel. I'll stop 
answering d-devel until something interesting comes up.

Best.
