Hmm, I'll probably need to reproduce that locally, maybe some kind of
issue with the way the tilde is expanded? Can you have a look at the
output of dub build --vverbose to see if there are any additional
clues? In any case, that error message should be extended to name the
exact reason for why it doesn't consider a path a valid package path.

I tried without the tilde. It's not the issue. I don't see anything relevant in the verbose output. I also tried with git head of dub. BTW, the dub list in my original post was incorrectly trimmed to glfw-drey (not glwtf-drey) but I also had glwtf-drey on the list.

There's also the option to specify a dependency as a local path. See "Version specifications" here: http://code.dlang.org/package-format?lang=json.
