I just built this on another machine, and I get the same results as my
first machine. Maybe something strange has happened on the build
farm....

Here’s an updated list.
Help wanted:
ngless-0.9.1.x86_64-linux
xmobar-0.28.x86_64-linux
These two look like they just need to be updated. They both seem to
need a few new dependencies, though. For instance, “ngless” needs four
new Haskell packages for the most recent version. It should be
straight-forward. There are a lot of options when building “xmobar”,
which is why I’ve been avoiding it. Depending on the options, it needs
different dependencies. If we have any “xmobar” users, I would love
your input for the update! Otherwise, I will do my best to make
reasonable (if rather uninformed) choices.
Broken before GHC update (i.e., should not block merge):
beast-0.10.0.x86_64-linux
hedgewars-0.9.25.x86_64-linux
rapicorn-16.0.0.x86_64-linux
“Works for me”:
git-annex-7.20191024.x86_64-linux
Could be deleted:
ghc-haddock-api-2.19.0.1.x86_64-linux – needed for haddock
ghc-haddock-2.19.0.1.x86_64-linux – haddock is already provided by GHC
corrode-0.0.1-b6699fb.x86_64-linux – no updates in years

This still needs doing, but I’m pretty sure it’s just “ghc-megaparsec-7”
and “ghc-network-2.8”.
