I could say, it's only three packages broken, it's all ok. While the fix for these three packages' Setup scripts is trivial, there is no fix that will make them compile with old and new versions of the lib.
Suggestions welcome.
Cabal-version-dependent Setup.hs?-) http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/326 One can hack something up without Cabal support (have a simple Setup.hs that checks the Cabal version and runs one of the actual Cabal-version-specific Setup-<version>.hs that do the work)- see the comments on that ticket. But wouldn't it be nice if Cabal would start supporting that directly, to sort this once and for all?-) Should also help with the other issues, Claus
