Yeah, but it fixed the ghc-pkg one ("ghc-pkg couldn't decommit memory"
or something) - so we can be reasonably sure that the ghc package manager
provided the correct packages (and complete ones) now.
It's too bad that it didn't fix the big problem - I hoped it would...

ghc-pkg is saying:
Warning: This package indirectly depends on multiple versions of the same
package. This is highly likely to cause a compile failure.
package transformers-compat-0.5.1.4 requires transformers-0.5.2.0
package transformers-base-0.4.4 requires transformers-0.5.2.0

And we have

I don't see where the diamond depenency is...
But Timothy has a patchset that removes the customized "backported"
ghc-transformer
package dependency since ghc-transformer is now part of ghc proper.
Its subject is "gnu: Remove Haskell packages provided by GHC".
Maybe that helps...
