### Please describe the problem. git-annex's dependencies fail to install unless fingertree is constrained to < 0.1.2.0 Note this has already been fixed upstream in reducers https://github.com/ekmett/reducers/commit/f18a111d66c343bd472f914baaa948191f8ecf55 However, there hasn't been a new release yet of reducers so it still affects git-annex currently. ### What steps will reproduce the problem? cabal install --jobs=8 --max-backjumps=100000 --only-dependencies --flags=s3\ webapp ### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system? 6.20171003 on macOS ### Please provide any additional information below.
