Hi Ben,

Building and packaging RC2 on openSUSE works on all openSUSE platforms. I noticed, however, that versions of Cabal and process were downgraded from the respective versions in ghc 8.2.1:

Cabal 2.0.0.2 -> 2.0.0.0 process 1.6.1.0 -> 1.6.0.0

Thanks for pointing this out, Peter. It seems that my source distribution script cleans submodules, but doesn't actually run `git submodule update`, hence the issue. Quite unfortunate and yet another argument for building these artifacts via CI. I suppose at this point we have two options: 1. invalidate the release, cut an -rc3 and try again, or 2. make the issue known but continue testing under the assumption that the submodule issues won't interact with any of the other changes and eventually and move directly to 8.2.2 final Unfortunately at the moment I'm rather deep in debugging a codegen bug, so I don't have the bandwidth to handle either of these at the moment. Cheers, - Ben

Peter
