No, I am just importing 'protobuf'. Also  the app is literally 
the base app when you run dub.init.
Here is a more exact error.
app.d(2): Error: unable to read module `protobuf`
app.d(2):        Expected 'google/protobuf.d' or 
'google/protobuf/package.d' in one of the following import paths:
import path[0] = /usr/include/dlang/dmd



Also, I tried with both google.protobuf and just protobuf. Same 
error. Although I do remember I got something interesting when 
trying to build a subproject of this one (it wasnt there for some 
reason)
Uhh, just 'root'. Where my dub.sdl is?
It is not overall project root, that is where my Package.swift 
files. It is in my Sources/source (yes because Dub does that by 
default + app.d) and in Sources is where my dub.sdl.
If you go to where my folder location is, and run dub build. It 
'works' fine if you run 'dub build'. Although only if you just 
import anything in std. If you try to import protobuf in the 
app.d, it just wont work. Here is that error.
source/app.d(2,8): Error: unable to read module `protobuf`
source/app.d(2,8):        Expected 'protobuf.d' or 
'protobuf/package.d' in one of the following import paths:
import path[0] = source/
import path[1] = 
../../../../.dub/packages/protobuf/0.6.2/protobuf/src/
import path[2] = /usr/include/dlang/dmd
Error /usr/bin/dmd failed with exit code 1.
