Cannot compile with cargo

I have recently changed my device to a Dell G15 with ubuntu installed and NVIDIA GPU 4060. To use Bevy I needed to install vulkan, OpenGL, and other libraries. Also one of my complex bevy applications needed to be compiled to wasm, and there was a problem because only Cargo.lock wanted to compile at some point(there were some serde errors, but I have no problems with that because this app used serde, so I thought that may be some inconsistencies because the app was not used and not updated for a time). But now I created a new project with Axum, and have the same errors when compiling:

Also rust-analyzer(vs code extension) returns this:

It seems like something is broken with cargo or rustc.

If two unrelated projects are affected, then the source files in /home/wiktor/.cargo/registry may have been corrupted (e.g. by accidentally editing them). You can delete the entire registry directory and Cargo will automatically re-download everything needed.

Exactly, I just found it. For some reason, I needed to comment Ok(()) in my project which was used "anyhow" library probably, but it seems somehow it replaced it globally which is extremely weird because I wanted to comment that only in the project src directory.
