#3931: extensible-exceptions 0.1.1.1 fails to build on GHC 6.8 (Cabal 1.2)
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
Reporter: andersk | Owner:
Type: bug | Status: new
Priority: normal | Component: libraries (other)
Version: 6.8.2 | Keywords:
Os: Unknown/Multiple | Testcase:
Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Failure: None/Unknown
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
With ghc 6.8.2 on Debian lenny, with Cabal-1.2.3.0 and cabal-
install-0.4.0:
{{{
$ cabal install extensible-exceptions
Downloading 'extensible-exceptions-0.1.1.1'...

}}}
This is a regression from extensible-exceptions-0.1.1.0, which worked
fine. Since compatibility with GHC < 6.10 is the entire point of the
extensible-exceptions package, this should probably be fixed.
