I stopped using it. It kept causing error messages in my

If we are talking about D-Apt here
http://d-apt.sourceforge.net/ it seems to be working fine for
me on Debian Sid. 2.075 just installed this morning.
I stopped using it a while ago as it was constantly causing me
problems with being unable to check for new package updates. It
was right when sourceforge was issuing security warnings and I
couldn't be bothered to try and deal with it.
Just following up on this, because I had the same problem:
1. Use wget or curl to download the .deb right from the archive
wget
http://downloads.dlang.org/releases/2018/dmd_2.080.0-0_i386.deb
2. Try to install it with dpkg
dpkg -i dmd_2.080.0-0_i386.deb
### If you experience errors, add the following steps. If not,
skip them.
3. Update your cache
sudo apt-get update
4. Download the dependencies, if you need to. In my case, I
needed libc6-dev and gcc, which you *would normally* install like
so:
sudo apt-get install libc6-dev gcc
But I had errors when trying to do that, which were resolved by
running:
sudo apt --fix-broken install
###
5. Finally, run `dmd --version` to test that it works!
