GitHub dlang-community/setup-dlang@v1 workflow woes

So for a good while now the D GitHub workflow hasn't worked for me. It invariably ends up like this, with one job failing to fetch dependencies and bringing the rest to a halt.

> Run dub test
Package lu not found in registry at https://code.dlang.org/ (fallbacks registry at > https://code-mirror.dlang.io/, registry at https://dub-registry.herokuapp.com/): HTTP request returned status code 0 ()
Failed to find any versions for package lu, referenced by dgithubtest ~master
Error: Process completed with exit code 2.

I made a reduced repo showcasing it; https://github.com/zorael/dgithubtest. The example above is taken from https://github.com/zorael/dgithubtest/actions/runs/952832093, but I'm not sure if you can see the logs. Fork the repo if you want to try it yourself.

It's always that dependency. I guess I could hack around it and while true; dub fetch until it succeeds. Is that the only play?

Not sure if this is more a learn or general topic, apologies.

As far as I can see, 9/10 jobs succeed without a problem and the the one that fails is the dmd-2.084.0 one. I'm pretty sure that this has little to do with GH Actions CI service or the setup-dlang action, but actually with the version of Dub bundled with this old version of dmd. You can verify this by running dub -v before dub test. Most likely there was an old Dub issue related to how it handled downloads from registries that has been fixed since.

Unfortunately, setup-dlang doesn't yet support installing the latest version of Dub separately from the compiler, so if you need to test your project with an old version of dmd, you may need to install Dub manually.

Not sure if this is more a learn or general topic, apologies.

In general, https://github.com/dlang/dub/issues or
https://github.com/dlang-community/setup-dlang/issues would be more appropriate, but its not a problem to discuss things here as well.
