Well dub will always use the versions you have specified in your 
dub.json/dub.sdl file, so if you have a specific version in you 
dub.json/dub.sdl then dub will use that version only and won't 
fetch a new version, so don't use something like "~>version", but 
just "version".

Example

Instead of (something like this.):
dependency "package" version="~>1.2.3"

Do:
dependency "package" version="1.2.3"
