    Error:  Package nimlangserver@any version not found.

Nimble seems to grab the package list from these 2 URLs:

  1. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nim-lang/packages/master/packages.json
  2. https://nim-lang.org/nimble/packages.json

I'm experiencing some connectivity issues with the first URL so it uses the next URL as a fallback. The issue is that package list on the second URL is not updated, some of the packages (like nimlangserver, happyx, etc) are not found there - causing errors when I try to install/update them.

This is already a known issue and has already been fixed. Please wait until the next nimble update comes along for your package manager, or try choosenim and switch to the devel channel (I don't know if it applies that for Nimble too).

1139 is the old issue btw. This is a duplicate.

Sorry I didn't find the duplicate issue when I looked before, closing this now.
