Is there a cmdline switch to DUB to override certain dub.sdl settings for a dependency? Like the addition or override to lib dirs or link-libs?

For example once and a while I run into linking issues with symbols not found due to the `soname` being different on my system than specified in some dependency dub.sdl. Or the lib path to the shared lib is different.

I don't think so, as I have also looked for that very feature in the past.

Probably it is not supported in order to make builds more deterministic  the dubfile is a record of how the binary was built (kind of, since there are obviously multiple configurations...)
