There are two build failures. msgpack is a bad checksum, so completely unrelated, we can ignore it here.

But the other is more interesting. The sequence of installs for the test produced a situation where dune 2.4.0 was installed then ocplib-endian was installed because it was required by opam-depext. Then the package requested a dune version < 2 hence it downgraded to dune 1.11.4.

But ocplib-endian was installed by dune, which produced a dune-package file with (lang dune 2.4) which of course is rejected by dune 1.11.4.

Is there a way to tell dune to produce dune-package files with version that are not higher than the one in the dune-project file (hence corresponding to the version constraint on the package) ? Or dune should just not be a build only dependency ?

I just changed it to a non-build dependency. If this is the right solution then it will be ready, otherwise, let me know and I will change this.

Yes. See #14266 and ocaml/dune#2147

Thanks a lot!
