I guess it doesn’t need to depend on the exact version it was built against. I would suggest >= <upstream-part-of-the-version> && << <upstream-part-of-the-version>.1 (this >.1 is intentional) This way cabal-install needs to be rebuilt whenever there is a new upstream version of libghc-cabal-dev. If we don’t set that upper bound, we risk that libraries (like hgettext) are built against newer upstream versions of libghc-cabal-dev than cabal-install, which could cause a mismatch between the CLI of cabal-install and that of the library.
