compiling issue: no method named to_owned found for type &'static str

When running cargo build I am getting this (using today's Substrate sources from master):

Another error shows up within the same build process:

   = note: this error originates in a macro outside of the current crate (in Nightly builds, run with -Z external-macro-backtrace for more info)

I did built WASM module before running cargo build
Looks like there are some problems with 'std' library being picked during the built process, but not sure what exactly the problem is.

Hey,

1. Seems like you are running a different version of primitive-types than master. It is 0.6.x where you are running 0.5.x
2. Also, this could related to bug in primitive_types when it is used with default-features. See [fixed-hash]: fix build with default-features parity-common#268 for futher information. We should publish a new version of fixed_hash and primitive_types but meanwhile if you don't need the default features you could use it with default-features=false and it should work

you are right! I moved one directory with old primitive-types into substrate tree and that's where the problem started.
