Updating Cargo beyond the repositories?

Decided I wanted my laptop to update it's time zone based on the network I was connecting to.

I was trying to install tzupdate:

Which needed Cargo, which I got from the repositories that come along with BunsenLabs.

But when I tried using cargo to get tzupdate, I got an error:

Caused by:
failed to parse the `edition` key

Caused by:
this version of Cargo is older than the `2021` edition, and only supports `2015` and `2018` editions.

I'm leery about adding any other repositories to my system, because that way lies madness. (I've already got just a few for Chrome and Skype, don't hate me!)

Does anyone have experience updating Cargo? I'll add repositories if I have to!

I guess you are on Beryllium/Bullseye. If you upgrade to Debian 12/Bookworm, you can install cargo_0.66.0+ds1-1_amd64.deb from 2023-01-12, instead of cargo_0.47.0-3+b1_amd64.deb from 2020-12-08.

Current BL boron beta2, is good enough for new installation. Download from https://sourceforge.net/projects/bunsenlabs-releases/

Interesting. BL Boron is just about ready for general use, right? I can probably wait that long and just upgrade my whole system rather than doing a new install? (Also choosing the lazy option so I don't need to migrate all my config files!)
