That is news to me, and bypassing cabal and cabal-dev in favor of
Debian packages indeed sound great. So, thanks for the work you are
doing!
Well, below is what I get. It looks like the .cabal file generated by
"yesod init" asks for versions that are newer than what's present in
Debian. (Conduit on testing is at 0.4.2-2+b2, fast-logger is at
0.0.2-1+b2, and so on.) I wanted to confirm that this indeed is a bug
before reporting it in the BTS.
(I nuked ~/.cabal and ~/.ghc, which is why the warning about running
'cabal update'...)
