digitalmars.D - DUB cannot fetch packages on Linux

reply Kirill <kirill.saidov mail.com> writes:
Whenever DUB tries to fetch a package, it returns the following:

```D
Package bindbc-glfw not found for registry at 
https://code.dlang.org/ (fallback ["registry at 
http://code.dlang.org/", "registry at 
https://code-mirror.dlang.io/", "registry at 
https://code-mirror2.dlang.io/", "registry at 
https://dub-registry.herokuapp.com/"]): HTTP request returned 
status code 503 (Service Unavailable)
```

Is it linux-specific? Do you have any ideas what might be the 
problem here?

It's a 503 (Service Unavailable) error from the HTTP request. 5xx series of errors are server-side errors, vs. 4xx which are client-side (404, you requested something that doesn't exist; 401, you made a request you're not permitted to make; 400, your request was malformed). It's not Linux specific and the requests work at this time. The server(s) was having problems.

Thank you for the explanation. Though I still consider the whole situation to be quite strange. Dub is able to fetch a package on mac, yet is unable to do the same on linux.

I'm not sure what the issue is exactly, but judging by the list of fallback servers, it appears that you have a relatively old version of DUB. In fact, none of those servers are available anymore, while the main fallback, codemirror.dlang.org is not there. There was a brief downtime of under a minute at 3:47 UTC today, so without any fallbacks that could explain the error.
