[Pkg-haskell-maintainers] Bug#753299: libghc-highlighting-kate-dev: Highlighting Ocaml fails

[John MacFarlane]

This is puzzling.  This problem was fixed upstream in highlighting-kate
0.5.8.1.  (See the changelog.) 0.5.8.2 fixes a similar problem with
perl.  I cannot reproduce what you're seeing with my locally installed
version (not installed through debian).

Are you certain that the version you are using in GHCI is 0.5.8.2,
and not an older version (perhaps from your user database)?
