Just did a full run over hackage, building packages with ghc 6.8.2, bytestring 0.9.0.1 and cabal 1.4.1..
Several hundred packages built fine. The majority are relatively easy to fix, if the upstream authors can be contacted.
The following could be marked broken, if we could do that.
Easy: Doesn't support small-base: AGI libxml newbinary openafp StategyLib Catch classify collections compression dataenc derangement hogg hsc2hs 2006 hslogger hsns hsql lambdaFeed metaplug mime-string pointfree sat soegtk sparsecheck special-functors (needs base<2 !) suffixtree th-lift torrent udcode
libxml works now, collections has been updated, and hslogger was in the list by accident. -- Don
