AI hallucination apparently. I was on a plane with spotty Wifi, and tried to make to with bad advice from Gemini. So it seems there isn't any practical way to express that `tls` **requires** the `use_crypton` flag in `mlkem` not only in its own build, but also when built as a dependency of other packages. :-(
Ok, I see why the automatic flag does not solve the problem: In terms of package dependencies there is no conflict for Cabal between `crypton` and `cryptonite` and thus it chooses both of them. So, Cabal would actually need something like a "conflicts" field in the package description.
Yes, the Gemini AI was hallucinating its existence, but perhaps that's not entirely a bad idea for a new feature. -- Viktor. 🇺🇦 Слава Україні!
