Hi,

I am trying to compile cabal-install-1.18.0.2 on GHC-6.12.1. It aborts with:
... [12 of 73] Compiling Distribution.Client.Compat.Semaphore ( Distribution/Client/Compat/Semaphore.hs, dist/build/cabal/cabal-tmp/Distribution/Client/Compat/Semaphore.o )
Distribution/Client/Compat/Semaphore.hs:12:26: Module `Control.Exception' does not export `mask_'
That is, you must either narrow the dependency on 'base' or avoid 'mask_'.
Looks like this commit is the problem: https://github.com/haskell/cabal/commit/877ef34712255d7c99b36eea4b9c3adfaada... Johan, was it you who cherry-picked it from master? Wasn't 1.18 supposed to still support 6.12? I've bumped the dependency on base to 4.3 in master. -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments
