My project depends on the requests dub package, which has two build configurations; one with an extra vibe-d dependency, one without (default).

    "configurations": [

        },
        {
            "name": "vibed",
            "versions": ["vibeD"],
            "dependencies": {
                "vibe-d": ">=0.8.0"
            }
        }
    ],

I only ever use the default "std" configuration, but dub always pulls the additional multiple vibe-d dependencies, regardless of what I pick. Adding a subConfiguration restriction does not seem to help.

Is there any way to stop this?

The reasoning is explained here:
https://github.com/dlang/dub/wiki/FAQ#why-are-dependencies-downloaded-that-belong-to-configurations-that-are-not-being-built

While these dependencies are downloaded, they will not be part of your binary.

At the moment the only chance to avoid these additional dependencies would be to split requests into 2 dub packages. The core package which uses std, and an additional package which is based on the core package and is using vibe-d.

Kind regards
