According to this[1], GHC v8.0.2 includes an upgrade of the `directory`
library to 1.3.0.0. This breaks at least the following packages:

  * stack-1.1.2, which depends on `directory (>=1.2.1.0 && <1.3)`.
  * Agda-2.5.1.1, which depends on `directory (>=1.2.0.1 && <1.3)`.
  * Glob-0.7.12, which depends on `directory (<1.3)`.

There are probably more. I identified the above by settings
`directory-1.3.0.0` as a dependency on package-plan.
