Research direction

Start with the dependency declarations in Cargo.toml and reproduce the reported Cargo resolution error using the tuf versions and untrusted constraint shown in the issue. Check which dependency versions are available from crates.io; done means the reported tuf versions resolve successfully without the untrusted version-selection error.

Description

I was attempting to try out rust-tuf in an application,
In my Cargo.toml under dependencies, i tried both
tuf = "0.3.0-alpha3" and tuf = "0.2.0" both with the same issue.

error: failed to select a version for the requirement `untrusted = "^0.5"`
  candidate versions found which didn't match: 0.7.0, 0.6.2
  location searched: crates.io index
required by package `tuf v0.3.0-alpha3`
    ... which is depended on by `demo_tuf v0.1.0 (/home/charles/code/rust/demo_tuf)`

any idea where i should go from here ?
