Looks like this commit is the problem: https://github.com/haskell/cabal/commit/877ef34712255d7c99b36eea4b9c3adfaada6b52 Johan, was it you who cherry-picked it from master? Wasn't 1.18 supposed to still support 6.12? I've bumped the dependency on base to 4.3 in master. -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments _______________________________________________ cabal-devel mailing list cabal-devel@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/cabal-devel
