Yes, I tried that, but just adding import Control.Exception (try) didn't cut it. At any rate, this is a widespread issue - I guess it will take the next haskell-platform to fix things across hackage - whenever that is...?

It seems that System.IO.Error no longer exports "try" and that breaks a lot of packages I am using. I am trying to move my code to GHC 7.6.1, and this seems to be a common source of problems (there are other issues, alas...). Is there an ETA to when libraries would be GHC-7.6.1-compatible?

Most of that stuff should be in Control.Exception, fwiw.
