Can't install vterm, repo not present after emacs-libvterm is built

[nlw0]

What's wrong

This seems similar to a previous issue that has happened with vterm: akermu/emacs-libvterm#297

emacs-libvterm gets downloaded and built, but then the vterm repo is assumed to be preset in .emacs.d/straight/repos, but it's not. I'm not familiar enough with the whole process and package structures to understand why this happens. I'm not sure also where to report this, I thought maybe it's better to ask the straight.el folks first.

Directions to reproduce

(straight-use-package 'vterm)

It's difficult for me to test a proper MVP, and I'm not sure it's straight's problem. I need some hints to how to move ahead.

Version information

• Emacs version: 29.1
• Operating system: Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS

I'm unable to reproduce with the following test case:

If it's downloaded, then it seems to me like it must be present in the repositories directory. Otherwise, where was it downloaded to? Also, see akermu/emacs-libvterm#297 (comment) -

Keep in mind the repository name is emacs-libvterm so you will find your directory in ~/.emacs.d/straight/repos/emacs-libvterm
