Again, I'm very reluctant to alter the version of a package that comes with

The HP will eventually upgrade to a more recent version of binary when it
will use GHC 7.8 or later.
My question is whether HP would like to upgrade before that happens.

I am not so sure about that. It's perfectly possible to have two
different versions of a library installed, and the solver usually does
the right

e that happens.
Two approaches could be taken.
1. Add binary-0.7. There will be two versions of binary in HP.
2. Replace binary-0.5.1.1 with binary-0.7 in the source of GHC 7.6.2.
Requires a little bit of work, but the installers for HP would install only
one version of binary. H
