Duplicate crate only during `cargo install` for stdg crate

help

I'm trying to install the stdg crate using the shell command cargo install stdg recommend on the project's github page [1].

The install fails with the following error:

To learn more, run the command again with --verbose.

The conflict reports two versions of font-kit (v0.4.0, and v0.5.0).

If I clone the repository, then git checkout v0.2.0, and cargo build --release, the build only compiles font-kit:0.4.0 and compiles the project without any errors.

If I then cargo install --path ., the build tries to compile both font-kit:0.4.0 and font-kit:0.5.0.

I checked the Cargo.lock with grep 'font-kit' Cargo.lock, and only font-kit:0.4.0 is listed. I understood the point of Cargo.lock was to ensure a fixed set of crate versions were used when building the package, but this behavior suggests otherwise.

So my question is, does anyone know why cargo install is trying to compile two different versions of font-kit when the project appears to only require one?

Other info:

rustc --version
rustc 1.44.1 (c7087fe00 2020-06-17)

Looks like I need to use cargo install --locked stdg. I thought I tried --locked before posting, but I missed it, and moved on after failing with --frozen.

It seems that cargo install will pull the latest [compatible?] crate available by default...

Yes, there's an open issue about it not using the lockfile by default
