Hello,
    I'm trying to test out a program I wrote on a new computer 
with a fresh install of WSL.  Part of the idea of doing this is 
to add installation instructions for people who don't have 
Phobos.  I've gone through what I expected to be the proper 
install procedure:

```
sudo apt install ldc
sudo apt install dub
// copied and entered the project directory
dub build
```

But on the last call, I get an error:
```
Error: module algebraic is in file 'std/math/algebraic.d' which 
cannot be read
```

On inspection, the std/math folder isn't present, but there is an 
std/math.d - I suspect there are other files/folders typically in 
the Phobos standard library that aren't present as well.

Have I done something wrong with the install?  The Phobos readme 
says I should install it with the compiler, so I'm doubting I 
should install it separately.



Here is the info from ```apt show ldc```:

Description: LLVM D Compiler
  LDC is a portable compiler for the D programming language with 
modern
  optimization and code generation capabilities.
  .
  It uses the official DMD compiler frontend to support the latest 
version
  of D, and relies on the LLVM Core libraries for code generation.
```

Have I installed LDC improperly, or is there another step I 
should take to install (the rest of) Phobos properly?

debian stable has: 1.30.0


so sounds like you are using an ancient version of debian, upgrade
