Fetching libevent 2.0.1+2.0.16...
Error executing command upgrade: Failed to download http://code.dlang.org/packages/libevent/2.0.1%252B2.0.16.zip: 404 Not Found

I'm not sure if the error is the file not being there or dub looking there. Is there a workaround for this? Thanks

Bumping as it's still not possible to install lib event via dub.

What version of dub are you using?

Try to update dub. There was issue in old version with path with whitespace.

I was using 0.9.21. Upgrading has fixed this issue, thanks to you both.
