I am behind a corporate firewall at work so I have to manually install dub packages. This requires setting the version manually, otherwise master is inferred. This was working great until I had ended a dub run command early. Now dub seems to have forgotten that the versions are in there. It's weird because dub list has them.



C:\ProgrammingFiles\DFiles\testing\testing_mir_glas>dub list
Packages present in the system and known to dub:
  nlopt 0.1.0: C:\ProgrammingFiles\DFiles\nlopt\
  mir-algorithm 0.6.6: C:\ProgrammingFiles\DFiles\dubFolder\mir-algorithm-0.6.6\

  lubeck 0.0.3: C:\ProgrammingFiles\DFiles\dubFolder\lubeck-0.0.3\
  [snip]

and the local-packages.json has entries like

	{
		"name": "nlopt",
		"version": "0.1.0",
		"path": "C:\\ProgrammingFiles\\DFiles\\nlopt\\"
	},

but trying to build it cannot determine the version and assumes master (below). My sense is that I need to remove dub and local.packages.json and re-install everything. This process would be faster if dub weren't spending all this time trying and failing to download files. I wish I could tell it not to bother going online.

After spending some time looking through the dub issues, I found that you can use
the option --nodeps effectively as an offline mode. The code compiles with --nodeps, but still fails without it.

I discovered that this issue was that I imported one package in the main function and then another package had a dependency on a lower version of that package.
