According to the OpenGroup that syntax should be fine: http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/xcu_chap02.html#tag_02_09_02 It works for me under Solaris 10. Perhaps Solaris 9 or older do not have a standard compliant /bin/sh program. What do you suggest we use instead as a workaround? > Next, ghc-6.10.1.20090314 comes with package unix-2.4.0.0, but > cabal-install.cabal requests: > > unix >= 2.0 && < 2.4 > > Changing to "<= 2.4" was not sufficient, so I changed it to "<= 2.5". > This will affect any OS! Hmm, it's a bit suspicious that the major version number is changing in a minor ghc release. Do we know what the API breakage is? This could affect any program.
