I'm not sure if this is a dub issue, a code.dlang.org issue or if
the zip file is broken. I also tried version 1.1.2 of the
package, same error.
C:\prog\prosjekt\MonsterBrowser_phobos2>dub build -a=x86

For now, I'm just using a local installation of the package.

It could be that dub packaged the code in wrong way. Workaround is ofc to clone the repo locally on your Windows box, and try to build it. This is exactly what I am going to do tomorrow. If it happens to be a genuine issue in the ddn-data-xml code, I will try to fix it. The right place to report ddn-data-xml issue(s) is https://codeberg.org/ddn/ddn-data-xml/issues ZIP looks good btw: ``` dejan mini:/tmp » wget https://code.dlang.org/packages/ddn-data-xml/1.1.3.zip HTTP response 302 [https://code.dlang.org/packages/ddn-data-xml/1.1.3.zip] Enqueue https://codeberg.org/ddn/ddn-data-xml/archive/v1.1.3.zip Saving '1.1.3.zip' HTTP response 200 [https://codeberg.org/ddn/ddn-data-xml/archive/v1.1.3.zip] 1.1.3.zip 100% [======================================================================================================================== =================>] 238.96K --.-KB/s [Files: 1 Bytes: 238.99K [138.14KB/s] Redirects: 1 Todo: 0 Errors: 0 ] dejan mini:/tmp » zip -T 1.1.3.zip test of 1.1.3.zip OK ```C:\prog\prosjekt\MonsterBrowser_phobos2>dub build -a=x86 -c=windows Fetching ddn-data-xml 1.1.3 (getting selected version) Failed to extract zip archive for ddn-data-xml 1.1.3...

I also tried version 1.1.2 of the package, same error.Quick look from a ReactOS VM on my Linux box (as that is the only 32bit "Windows" I have access to):  Looks like some weird DUB or dub-registry issue. I have also successfully downloaded and extracted the ZIP file.

Looks like Codeberg for whatever reason refuses connections under certain circumstances: ``` mingw> curl -L -o ddn-6.2.0.zip https://code.dlang.org/packages/ddn/6.2.0.zip mingw> file ddn-6.2.0.zip ddn-6.2.0.zip: HTML document, ASCII text ``` however, ``` mingw> wget -v https://code.dlang.org/packages/ddn/6.2.0.zip --2026-05-03 19:00:58-- https://code.dlang.org/packages/ddn/6.2.0.zip Loaded CA certificate '/usr/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt' Resolving code.dlang.org (code.dlang.org)... 104.21.37.229, 172.67.214.172, 2606:4700:3033::ac43:d6ac, ...

Why is this happening is beyond me to be honest...
