7.6.1 RC1 panic "coVarsOfTcCo:Bind"

22 Aug 2012

      Hi,

I'm getting the panic below when building darcs 2.8 with GHC 7.6. It'll
take some effort to cut it down or give repro instructions for an
uncut-down version (I needed to hack a lot of underlying packages to be
able to even get as far as doing this build), so could someone confirm
that it's worth it before I do so? I can't spot anything already
reporting this in trac.

Cheers,

Ganesh
