QuickCheck's constraint is template-haskell >= 2.4, which doesn't explain why cabal wanted to install 2.6.0.0 when 2.7.0.0 was already present. Also, I'd expect --avoid-reinstalls to stop it reinstalling anything, but apparently it doesn't do that with the modular solver. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
