It is supposed to use whichever is installed. If both are, the virtual points to plain rust first and then rust-bin. I would expect it to use the plain, locally compiled version, first. Sort of surprised it allowed both to be installed tho. I'd think one would block the other but maybe in this case, it is able to have both. If only rust-bin is installed, then it uses it. It doesn't matter which is installed, the virtual only needs one. None of those should need to be in world file tho. Whatever depends on the virtual will trigger the updates. Dale :-) :-)
