Thanks for the fast reply, and glad to hear!

Ah, interesting, I didn't realise one could dig like that through the
dep chain. Looking at hledger-web -> libghc-yesod-static-dev ->
libghc-css-text-dev, which seems to fail with a quickcheck unittest
failure. Already reported upstream and noted by Joachim as well:

https://github.com/yesodweb/css-text/issues/11

but I'm not familiar with this library to understand what the issue is;
I just left a comment on the bug report with some more information.

thanks,
