Does it persist if you do a cargo clean?

Which rust and cargo versions are that?

[debris]

commit mentioned in the log exists on stable branch: paritytech/js-precompiled@bbc5b6c

Each time we update our ui, cargo downloads the new version of it from github. Unfortunately, it does it by cloning the whole repository to a new location. Currently paritytech/js-precompiled is quite big, so it may take several seconds to download it. I guess that something interrupted your connection to a github server and this caused the build to fail.

I could compile parity by flushing .cargo/git
Seems like some file was corrupted.
Thanks
