This is part of why it's sometimes been discussed that we need a way to indicate which dub packages are currently maintained and work. A package updated last in February of 2016 may very well still work today with the latest compiler, or it may fail to compile as happens here. It depends on what the code is doing, what has changed in D since the last update, and how up-to-date the code really was when it was last updated (e.g. if it was ignoring deprecation warnings rather than fixing them, which I think was the case here).

Wouldn´t be interesting to specify the compiler version on dub.json?
(I think ruby uses this idea)
