Hi, I just tried to set up my dev environment using the dev container path, but the setup fails because of some recent issue with some rust tool getting removed from some rust package.
Anyways I did some searching and it seems there is already a fix on the way in this PR devcontainers/features#1362

Steps to Reproduce:

1. clone vscode
2. open in devcontainer
3. devcontainer fails with this at the end of the log:

I don't think there is any viable workaround or I haven't searched hard enough, I guess it is sit and wait situation.

[fanick1]

Oh actually there is a workaround mentioned in the PR devcontainers/features#1362 (comment)

• update the .devcontainer/devcontainer.json:

...
	"features": {
		"ghcr.io/devcontainers/features/desktop-lite:1": {},
		"ghcr.io/devcontainers/features/rust:1": {
			"version": "1.86",
			"profile": "default"
		}
	},
...
