Installing dmd if debian-goodies is installed fails. Both try to write a file named '/usr/bin/dman'
Debian Stretch is out, the freeze is over, perhaps now dmd will soon be available as a package in Debian? Ldc2 does a great job but for testing purposes and convenience it would be good to have the reference compiler. Is there likely to be D related activity at DebCamp and DebConf 2017, Montreal? * failed attempt to install dmd with debian-goodies installed sudo dpkg -i dmd_2.074.1-0_amd64.1.deb (Reading database ... 224610 files and directories currently installed.)
