when releasing agent we ofter face this failure is coming from this line: ``` error: binary `cargo-cache.exe` already exists in destination Add --force to overwrite ``` So cargo install is failing because the tool is already installed, and by default Cargo refuses to overwrite an existing binary → hence the exit code 1. CircleCI often: restores a cache (which includes ~/.cargo/bin) then runs cargo install again So the binary is already there → install fails. Solution: allow overwrite with `force` option
