As explained on the forum, "etc" is a package reserved for Phobos.

I suppose we could narrow it down in rdmd to "etc.c" but really people shouldn't be mixing package names used in Phobos and in their code.

Yes, this user code has always been invalid as it is using standard library package name.

Maybe a more descriptive error message could be introduced about reserved package names?

I don't think that would be possible unless you knew whether a module is actually part of the standard library (phobos.lib) or not. But, if you solve that, you can solve the original problem since now you know whether to compile/link it or not.

Closing, as I don't see how we could make things "just work" in all situations without writing a custom linker.
