@cmpute if you could approve the CI run, it would be great, thanks :)

[cmpute]

Thanks for the PR! The CI test failed. The MSRV policy is still 1.57.

[sylvestre]

@cmpute is there a reason for 1.57 as a minimal dep ? it is quite old now (almost 3 years now)

Not much, but I don't think it's worth to bump the MSRV only for the 'dep:' feature tho.

[sylvestre]

@cmpute I think I fixed it

I am trying to package num-prime in debian for the rust coreutils :)
This is why I need this bug fixed

[cmpute]

The 1.57 check still failed. I will take a look later

[cmpute]

There is a work around, you can build with "--features num-bigint,num-traits,num-integer".

If it doesn't work for you, then I think the only way is to rename the "num-bigint" dependency, which might requires additional checks on other packages depending on this.

[sylvestre]

ok, thanks :)

the only way

or upgrade MSRV ;)

Yeah the only way without bumping MSRV haha. Please let me know if enabling all these three features num-bigint,num-traits,num-integer works for you or not. If it suffices, I prefer to close the PR and the issue.
