The problem is that `--allow-newer` tells cabal to ignore dependencies'
upper bounds completely. If those bounds turn out to be necessary in some
cases, the solver will produce a bad build plan. Using finer-grained
(per-dependency) `--allow-newer` can avoid this by only permitting the
solver to ignore specific constraints.

Hi Andrew,
--allow-newer is a blunt instrument, not much surprise it fails. Use a more precise incantation: cabal build --allow-newer='cabal-bounds:*,cabal-lenses:*’ works fine for me.
thanks for the hint, but how can this compile error occur if cabal can resolve the dependencies? I would‘ve thought, that the dependency resolution would fail before.
