Re: [Haskell-cafe] Cabal: top level dependency base -any

Hi.

So would it be correct to infer that the -any restriction will only (and always) come into play with special packages such as base?

No. Unfortunately, -any really means "any version is allowed", so that's why the error message is really misleading.

Are there any other special packages besides base?

W.r.t. Cabal's dependency resolution? No. Cheers, Andres
