Hi,

I'm mostly a windows developer, so my linux-fu is pretty non existent. I do however run some D applications on a Debian box which has been quite painless up until now.

Today I tried to update DMD on the Debian box from 2.062 to 2.063.2. I removed dmd, switched to the D-Apt repository on sourceforge, updated apt-get and tried to install dmd-bin:

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
dmd-bin : Depends: libphobos2-dev (= 2.063.2-0) but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages
----

Installing packages which are (I think) built with the latest dmd doesn't work either:

----
apt-get install dub

Out of curiosity I tried to install libphobos2-63 manually:

apt-get install libphobos2-63

I'm not even sure where to begin. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
