Package: cabal-install
Version: 2.2.0.0-3
Dear Maintainer,
Debian-packaged ghc is now at 8.6.5; cabal-install contains a
version of cabal that works only with ghc <= 8.5
1. We need a version of cabal-install that works with the
current packaged ghc
2. cabal-install should have a dependency on the actual versions
supported, so apt doesn't install a later version (of ghc) than
can be used.
Example current output:
cabal configure --enable-tests --disable-library-vanilla --enable-shared --enable-executable-dynamic
Warning: Unknown/unsupported 'ghc' version detected (Cabal 2.2.0.1 supports
'ghc' version < 8.5): /usr/bin/ghc is version 8.6.5
