Cannot satisfy the dependency problem

[vegansk]

The project depends on package via tempfile#head which is of version 0.1.5, and have transitive dependency on the same package: tempfile >= 0.1.5. nimble install -d raises an error:

Error: Cannot satisfy the dependency on tempfile #head and tempfile 0.1.5

If there is a transitive dependency on tempfile >= 0.1.5 then that shouldn't be a problem. Are you sure it's tempfile >= 0.1.5 and not tempfile 0.1.5?

Another possible issue could be that tempfile#head's version is actually < 0.1.5.

On the other hand, I can see this being a bug. But please verify, and if you can create a project that reproduces this.

Here's a reproducible test case. Relevant *.nimble section:

requires "https://github.com/nimble-test/packagea#head",
         "https://github.com/nimble-test/packagebin2"

Command:
rm -rf ~/.nimble; nimble install -y --depsOnly; nimble install -y --depsOnly

The second nimble run fails with:

Error: Cannot satisfy the dependency on PackageA 0.6.0 and PackageA #head
