Hi, I am trying to use Meson, and I did the followings to get dub packages:

   dub fetch hunt-net
   dub fetch hunt-proton
   dub build hunt-net
   dub build hunt-proton

when I have this line in my meson.build file:

   dependency('hunt-net', method: 'dub')

It works fine:

   Run-time dependency hunt-net found: YES 0.4.6

But when I change it to

   dependency('hunt-proton', method: 'dub')

It simply says:

   Run-time dependency hunt-proton found: NO
   ... ERROR: Dependency "hunt-proton" not found

And when I looked at meson-log.txt, I couldn't find any clue on why that happens:

Determining dependency 'hunt-proton' with DUB executable '.../dlang/dmd-2.091.0/linux/bin64/dub'
    Run-time dependency hunt-proton found: NO

So I completely cannot figure out why hunt-net is resolvable but hunt-proton is not. Can anyone help me understand how meson resolves these dependencies? Thanks!

I have a feeling that it might be because of the fact that hunt-proton has a "beta" in its version:

  hunt-net 0.4.6: /home/.../.dub/packages/hunt-net-0.4.6/hunt-net/
hunt-proton 1.0.0-beta.3: /home/.../.dub/packages/hunt-proton-1.0.0-beta.3/hunt-proton/

However, this does not help me solve the problem. Even if I add a "version" parameter to the dependency() function, it still does not resolve hunt-proton.

Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks.
