Building ALVR server failing

[ZombiesFromPluto]

Hi. I don't know what I am doing, but I am trying to build ALVR for linux.
The command I run is "cargo xtask build-server --release --bundle-ffmpeg"
and I get an error:
error: failed to get wgpu as a dependency of package client v16_0_0-rc2 (root/ALVR/alvr/experiments/client)
I have absolutely no clue what this means and would appreciate if anyone could help me out.
Thanks.

"Failure to get" sounds like an issue with dependency setup or cargo environment. E.g. is ALVR using vendored dependencies or a custom crates io repository? I have no idea what ALVR is. Please provide more info:

1. is there a downstream issue?
2. what is the exact log?
3. what are the repro steps?

ALVR is a server that you can connect to with a standalone virtual reality headset like the oculus quest and stream pc virtual reality games to the headset.
Sorry, I don't know what a downstream issue is or how to get the log. I am very new to linux but here is the alvr github: https://github.com/alvr-org/ALVR

The reproduction steps are (in a terminal):

run "sudo apt install curl"
run "curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs/ | sh"
when asked enter "1"
run "sudo apt install build-essential pkg-config libclang-dev libssl-dev libasound2-dev libgtk-3-dev libvulkan-dev libunwind-dev gcc-8 g++-8 yasm nasm curl libx264-dev libx265-dev libxcb-render0-dev libxcb-shape0-dev libxcb-xfixes0-dev libspeechd-dev libxkbcommon-dev libdrm-dev"
4: wait a long time for the installation to complete.
5: run "cd ALVR"
run "cargo xtask build-server --release --bundle-ffmpeg"

Thanks.

Thank you for the info!
The log I ask is basically what your terminal outputs on the failing command.
The "downstream" here is the project using wgpu - ALVR. So I suggest filing a bug here.

Note that they have CI in place and everything builds fine there.

Could your error be an intermittent network error on your side?

[ZombiesFromPluto]

Alright. I am downloading and reinstalling debian from scratch and running everything again to see if it was a network error. If it isn't I will submit a bug I guess.

[ZombiesFromPluto]

Here is the log. It still doesn't work after reinstalling everything. I will submit a bug to ALVR.
Thanks so much for helping.
