When I run cargo update on stdx, it hangs forever at "Updating registry". stdx uses "=" for all it's dependencies, and when I remove the "=" it no longer hangs.

I have to imagine this graph has somehow become unresolvable per cargo's algorithm, though it used to resolve.

Ah this is actually an instance of #4066. The crate graph at brson/stdx@ec0b42a is actually un-resolvable.

cpp_demangle (required for backtrace required through error-chain) requires clap 2.24.2 whereas stdx requires =2.20.1, which means it's impossible for Cargo to select a correct version constraint here. In that case Cargo's just doing a terrible job of telling you that it's an unresolvable graph!
