The problem here is that:
* You're on an OS that doesn't have prebuilt binaries (FreeBSD 32-bit)
* The version you're using (1.5.1) isn't compatible with the newer syntax
used in the stack.yaml file for 1.7.1[1]
I'll need to upgrade in two steps: first upgrade to 1.6.1, then to 1.7.1
using that Stack. Something like this should work:
$ git clone https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack --branch v1.6.1
$ cd stack
$ stack install
# make sure you're using the new stack 1.6.1 binary
$ stack upgrade
# or
$ git checkout v1.7.1
$ stack install
HTH,
Michael
[1] Even if you removed that new syntax, you'll end up running into the
cassava flag bug, so no shortcuts here

Hello,
I'm attempting to upgrade stack on a FreeBSD 11.1 system but it fails:
