I repaired this by uploading a new version in which only the cabal file has changed. This raises the following questions:
- the Haskell code did not change, but I still had to bump the version number? - can I remove the incorrect version or indicate that it is superseded by the new version? - since I do not have a wide variety of Haskell installations and package versions on my machine, it would be very nice if the hackage server could test a package against the extremes of the indicated dependency ranges before installing. This would have prevented the mistake I made (and which undoubtedly others will make too)
So that we do not forget I've filed a ticket for this feature request: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/719 People are of course welcome to add comments to the ticket. Duncan
