bad META file
There’s something flaky about the ctypes package. The <switchprefix>/lib/ctypes/META file says
package "foreign" (
directory = "foreign"
version = "0.21.1"
requires = "ctypes-foreign"
)
But there is no
The reference for META syntax says, wrt to the "directory" variable: "The base directory for subpackages is the package directory of the containing package.". So I think there's something wrong here.
Furthermore, the dune-package file says: (deprecated_library_name (old_public_name ctypes.foreign) (new_public_name ctypes-foreign))
The opam file has no relevant info. If I run ocamlfind query ctypes.foreign, the output is
$HOME/.opam/5.0.0/lib/ctypes/foreign
which does not exist.
FWIW I'm having this problem too, but I suspect the problem is rather with dune's META file generation.
Workaround is to depend on ctypes-foreign.
