Yeah, I keep getting it as well: https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-contrib/actions/runs/6204986546/job/16847665048

I think it's trying to tell us that our bounds exclude bytestring 0.12 which is now available in Hackage. What we need to do is make sure xmonad builds and works with this version, and update the bounds.

I'm not keeping up with the Haskell ecosystem these days so I don't know how to actually do that. Last time I checked, bytestring was a "boot" package shipped with GHC, so perhaps we'd need to test with GHC HEAD? Or can you ask cabal to just pull it and build it?
