- 'cargo - fix idempotency issues when using a custom installation path for
packages (using the ``--path`` parameter). The initial installation runs fine,
but subsequent runs use the ``get_installed()`` function which did not check
the given installation location, before running ``cargo install``. This resulted
in a false ``changed`` state. Also the removal of packeges using ``state:
absent`` failed, as the installation check did not use the given parameter
