Subject: [bug#77212] [PATCH] gnu: rust: install stdlib manifest with original checksums

From: Efraim Flashner <[email-masked]>

Does it have to be the original checksums or will correct checksums
work?  Currently to save time we set all the checksums to
e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855 (an
empty file).

What changed in rust-analyzer 1.82 that made it change? Or was that part
of the error message?
