module ... conflicts with package name ...

I have a directory structure like this (names are changed, but essentially they shouldn't matter):

source/foo/package.d
source/foo/bar/package.d

with foo.package.d containing a public import of foo.bar, and foo.bar containing various public imports from elsewhere.

I get the following message:

Error: module foo.bar from file source/foo/bar/package.d conflicts with package name bar

What? I have no idea why this works in other places but not here. Is this a real thing? Has anyone experienced this and can point at a bugzilla for it?

I found this fixed issue from 2013: https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10302 which has similar error message.


If I remove the module definition it starts compiling. Is that right?

I can't reproduce with a small example. Before I try and go through the process to reduce this, just wanted to see if anyone knows about this.

I've made a few changes to the package.d import code, one is pending. If you can reduce it to a test case I'll check it promptly.

Pilot error. One of my other package modules declared itself to be the same module name (facepalm)

HOWEVER, I will file a bug on this. If you have two packages claiming to be the same module package, it would be helpful if it showed the previously declared filename/location.
