I understand the wisdom seems to be to just use the zip file and 
set your path locally.  But maybe someone has either been across 
this, or want's to know there's an issue on Mint.

I'm not that good w/ linux package mgrs, but I'm willing to slog 
through if anyone has suggestions to try.

LinuxMint do not only uses the same Debian/Ubuntu packaging system (apt), it
even uses the Ubuntu's repositories.

"dpkg" command do not install dependencies, and "apt-get" command do not
install local deb packages.

There is a tool that install local deb packages, including its dependencies:
gdebi
$ sudo apt-get install gdebi

to install dmd2 on LinuxMint:
$ sudo gdebi dmd_2.060-0_amd64.deb

If you get some problem with the installed (but still not configured) dmd deb
package, remove it first:
$ sudo dpkg -P dmd

So gcc seems to be installed right (indeed, I use it regularly),
but for some reason, the package dependencies or particulars
don't wire up right.  Other ideas?

Why did you try to install 32-bit dmd deb package on a 64-bit system?

You MUST install "dmd_2.060-0_amd64.deb" on a 64-bit system, like yours.

Then, if you want to compile to 32-bit, just add -m32 to dmd command.

Those are minor and green upgrades, not pertinent to dmd install.

Guess I missed that chapter in the owner's manual.  I assumed amd 
was specific to amd architecture.  Yay!, tribal knowledge!

Yep, that worked just fine.  Thanks for getting me through.

All x86-64(is that even proper?) bit processors use the AMD 64bit 
architecture. AMD won so they get the name (at least that is what 
team Debian decided).

Quick, which architecture is your computer running!?

amd64, armel, kfreebsd-i386, kfreebsd-amd64, i386, ia64, mips, mipsel,  
powerpc, sparc

Took me 30 minutes the first time I decided to try debian to figure it  
out...
Mostly because I kept associating amd64 with AMD and ia64 with INTEL.
