Reduced Cargo.toml test case, tested at the root of a repo:

[lints]
clippy.should_panic_without_expect = "deny"
clippy.pedantic = { level = "warn", priority = -1 }

What you expected to see, versus what you actually saw

The file is valid according to Cargo, but Dependabot fails to parse the file. It gives no line number or other detail in the log, only:

Native package manager behavior

The problem is not with updating, but with reading the file at all. Cargo accepts this Cargo.toml file.

Bug in upstream toml-rb parser: emancu/toml-rb#151

[4br3mm0rd]

Hey! From what I understand with the issue in toml-rb, and from what I tested, you can fix your toml file like the following (in the meantime, until they fix the issue):

[package]
name = "problem"

[lints]
clippy.pedantic = { level = "warn", priority = -1 }
clippy.should_panic_without_expect = "deny"
