cargo install does not install latest version from crates.io

[nertpinx]

Problem

I want to update cargo-whatfeatures package (version 0.9.6) that was installed with cargo install because newer package is available (0.9.7) according to crates.io. It works with stable cargo, but does not with the nightly one.

Steps

Make sure you have no cache of crates.io packages downloaded, then try:

$ cargo install cargo-whatfeatures --version 0.9.7
    Updating crates.io index
error: could not find `cargo-whatfeatures` in registry `crates-io` with version `=0.9.7`

When I try with stable cargo it finds that crate:

$ cargo +stable install cargo-whatfeatures --version 0.9.7
    Updating crates.io index
  Downloaded cargo-whatfeatures v0.9.7
  Downloaded 1 crate (35.5 KB) in 0.38s
  Installing cargo-whatfeatures v0.9.7
^C

When I try again with nightly it finds that name+version in the cache and it works.
