Comment (by simonmar):
Replying to [comment:19 dons]:
Ok, in GHC 6.8.1 and Cabal 1.2 we added various measures to prevent
accidental mismatches such as this. I need to establish whether these
measures are not working for some reason, or whether you're running into
cases that we just don't catch yet (there are definitely such cases, but
hopefully much fewer than before).
Please could you describe exactly the sequence of events that leads to the
crash?
To be clear: I believe all compile-time errors can be avoided by bumping
versions when APIs change. If you have evidence to the contrary, I need
to hear about it.
