# Error code E0549

A `deprecated` attribute wasn’t paired with a `stable`/`unstable` attribute with `#![feature(staged_api)]` enabled.

Erroneous code example:

ⓘ

    #![feature(staged_api)]
    #![stable(since = "1.0.0", feature = "test")]

    #[deprecated(
        since = "1.0.1",
        note = "explanation for deprecation"
    )] // invalid
    fn _deprecated_fn() {}

Run

To fix this issue, you need to add also an attribute `stable` or `unstable`. Example:

    #![feature(staged_api)]
    #![stable(since = "1.0.0", feature = "test")]

    #[stable(since = "1.0.0", feature = "test")]
    #[deprecated(
        since = "1.0.1",
        note = "explanation for deprecation"
    )] // ok!
    fn _deprecated_fn() {}

Run

See the How Rust is Made and “Nightly Rust” appendix of the Book and the Stability attributes section of the Rustc Dev Guide for more details.
