Specifications

• Version of dune (output of dune --version): Not installed
• Version of ocaml (output of ocamlc --version): 5.4.0+dev0-2024-08-25
• Version of opam (output of opam --version): 2.1.5

Additional information

I've tried on a fresh opam switch created with opam switch create test ocaml.5.4.0.
I am able to install dune.3.7.1 with no errors, but not dune.8.0., but I'd like to have the last version of dune.

[gridbugs]

This is only an issue on ocaml.5.4.0 and is fixed in #11482. This fix will be included in the next release of dune. Until then I'd recommend using ocaml.5.3.0.
