Stale caching of crate that has apparently been deleted from crates.io

[richard-w]

My crate 'advantage' has two published versions on crates.io (0.0.0 and 0.1.0). Apparently this crate name previously belonged to someone else who published a placeholder with the same name and version 0.1.1. I was not aware of this until I checked docs.rs.

Expected behavior

• https://docs.rs/advantage leads to documentation for version 0.1.0 of my crate.
• In the owners section only my avatar is displayed.

Actual behavior

• https://docs.rs/advantage leads to documentation for version 0.1.1 of the deleted crate.
• The previous owner's avatar is displayed in the owners section too.

Notes

I understand that deleted crates constitute an absolute edge-case. Maybe a manual cleanup of the database is the solution here?

Apparently the previous owner published a lot of crates that have since been deleted from crates.io but are still on docs.rs. See https://docs.rs/releases/rustbae.

Thanks for opening the issue!

I deleted all the contents of the advantage crate and queued a rebuild of advantage 0.0.0 and 0.1.0.

The documentation is now live!
