Ohhh. I'd not realised that when we extended the version range parser that this would affect the "tested-with" field too. It's obvious in retrospect of course.
So we need to add a QA check for that. At the same time we should check that the tested-with makes any sense. In particular we should check that the version constraints are not self-inconsistent.
The value "GHC==6.4.1 && ==6.8.2 && ==6.10.4" is not consistent. You meant "GHC==6.4.1, GHC==6.8.2, GHC==6.10.4"
Sounds reasonable. However I remember weakly, that I tried some more logical variants first, and they were not accepted by a version of Cabal. It's hard to reproduce now.
