What i don't like about dub is that is does not check which 
software is installed on the host.
Currentlu tck86 is installed on the host including header files & 
shared libraries.
But dub says let me just download my own personal version and i 
will compile it in your home directory
/home/myuser/.dub
There is something inherently wrong in doing so.

Note other package managers of different languages do the same 
thing.
dub should really check if something should really be downloaded.
Otherwise you end up in a library hell, in Gates words known as 
dll hell.
