#16199: GHC 8.6 bundles libraries that don't correspond to Hackage releases -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: RyanGlScott | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: closed Priority: highest | Milestone: 8.6.4 Component: libraries | Version: 8.6.3 (other) | Resolution: fixed | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: #14678 | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/merge_requests/139 -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by jrp): It would be great to get 8.6.4 out, if only to fix this bug, which is a real productivity killer as I seem to need to empty my `.ghc` and `.cabal` directories and reinstall the libraries needed for whatever my project using to get going. Unless someone knows of a better workaround. {{{ Resolving dependencies... cabal: Could not resolve dependencies: [__0] trying: directory-1.3.3.2 (user goal) [__1] next goal: ghc (user goal) [__1] rejecting: ghc-8.6.3/installed-8.6...
