I think it might be a file extension issue. The .pm extension is deprecated now, might be confusing zef for testing.

[matiaslina]

I don't think that is an extension problem (saw this issue on the HTTP::Status module and the module have the pm6 extension). Although the extensions should be changed to .rakumod.

Anyway I can do a pull request to change the extensions to rakumod to see if that's the problem or not.

Same issue here.

[JJ]

it does not fail when installed locally. Must be something in the library layout...

Its the same issue its been for the last year -- some modules switched from using META.info to META6.json without bumping their version, thus your local cache probably has the variant with a META.info (which support was dropped awhile ago).
