Thanks for taking your time to report this issue and help making Ubunt better.

The underlying issue for this bug seems to be that two packages both include the file '/usr/bin/dub'. This is usually fixed by removing duplicates (if both packages contain the exact same file) or by marking them as conflicting so that they cannot be installed on the same system if both packages try to install unrelated files with the same name.

I tried to also mark dmd as affected by this issue, but I couldn't find it in Launchpad? Is that package from the Ubuntu archive, or installed from some third-party service?
