pkgver.hs:
{-# LANGUAGE CPP #-}
main = print PACKAGE_VERSION
PACKAGE_VERSION is expected to be a quoted string.

Couldn't match expected type `b -> c' against inferred type `IO ()'
In the first argument of `(.)', namely `print 2.4'
In the expression: print 2.4 . 1
In the definition of `main': main = print 2.4 . 1

Issue seen in the wild thanks to cabal -w flag. Building darcs with "cabal
install darcs-2.4 -w ghc-6.10.4.exe" fails.
Affected 6.10.4 and 6.12.1. More info here:
