cannot publish clippy anymore: ValueAfterTable

[oli-obk]

Relevant Cargo.toml: https://github.com/Manishearth/rust-clippy/blob/master/Cargo.toml

building in debug and release works fine, installing debug/release works fine, just publishing fails.

backtrace is

Rustc version is rustc 1.19.0-nightly (5b13bff52 2017-05-23)
Cargo version is cargo 0.20.0-nightly (3973598 2017-05-18)

last publish on 2017-05-19 worked fine with rustc 1.19.0-nightly (0ed1ec9f9 2017-05-18)

A related change might be that we moved to workspaces since then, but even so, the error message should produce something more useful I think. Removing workspaces doesn't fix it. This error is occurring even before the publish starts the first build of any dependencies.

Thanks for the report! I think this is a dupe of #4081 which was fixed in #4085, but I'll go update the submodule in rust-lang/rust so we can get this released
