Hi, the package http://hackage.haskell.org/package/haskelldb-hdbc-mysql/ the use of HDBC <2.3.0 I'm using cabal-install 0.14, and with a fresh install (no packages already installed), cabal-install tries to install HDBC-2.1.1 instead of, say, HDBC-2.2.7.0.
The problem is that HDBC-2.1.1 is old (2009) and does not compile.
When I download haskelldb-hdbc-mysql manually, change the dependency and then install, it compiles fine.
Is the dependency ill-declared, or is that a cabal problem?
Apart from the change of license, there were no serious changes to the HDBC interface between the 2.2.* and 2.3.* series: as far as I know, it should be fine to change the dependency. That said, I've not worked with haskelldb-hdbc-mysql, so I can't say for sure.
