looking at http://code.dlang.org/packages/botan.json it contains:

["Locking_Allocator","SHA2_32","SHA2_64","MD4","MD5","SHA1","CRC24"]}],"workingDirectory":"build","commitID":"7110ce2142003165ae0b0642261c45ab807a6b6b","buildOptions":["inline"],"name":"botan","version":"1.11.10","targetType":"staticLibrary","license":"2-BSD","readmeFile":"/README.md","date":"2015-02-17T19:08:12Z","targetName":"botan","description":"A D library for crypto and TLS","libs":["dl"],"targetPath":"build","dependencies":{"memutils":{"path":"../memutils","version":">=0.0.0"}},"versions":["Have_botan"]},

which has a "path"; which I believe causes the above error; this seems wrong for a published package ?

What is in your dub.versions.json file?

[timotheecour]

initially empty, i let dub fill it

[timotheecour]

published packages shouldn't contain path:

https://code.dlang.org/getting_started

Dependencies in the package description can use a path instead of a version. This can be used together with Git sub-modules or -trees, or with an otherwise known directory layout to use arbitrarily defined versions of a dependency. Note that this should only be used for non-public packages.

I think some dependency is asking for a very old version.. I had done this mistake on an oold release.
