Thanks for the hint for folks.
Why would cabal-install select a different base than running Setup manually?
Someone thought it was a good idea to make base-3 the preferred selection for cabal-install, to make the transition from base-3 to base-4 as smooth as possible. It may have worked for that, but it's causing a lot of problems now instead. Time for a new policy/version for cabal-install?
I've just uploaded HDBC 2.0.1 to cabal, that has the same hack as extensible-exceptions. Would one of you that had trouble with cabal-install on 2.0.0 please test and let me know if it's better? Thanks, -- John
