I do have commit access now, but for the moment I=E2=80=99m keeping to = the branch wip-haskell-updates. Thus, I=E2=80=99d ask you (or someone) to merge that (or the parts you = deem appropriate). I=E2=80=99ve incorporated your comments, and removed ghc-packedstring. In addition, the branch incorporates some other patchsets: #36493: updating GHC-included haskell dependencies (this one is already in core-updates) #36562: downgrade ansi-terminal to be compatible with the package set #36663: adding elm compiler dependencies (just a few extra ghc packages) #36692: GHC version 8.6.5 (just as a package for now, not used to build anything) #36807: this bug report, removing three deprecated packages no ticket: Skip tests for three Haskell packages that fail on i686 only (and seem harmless): ghc-trifecta, ghc-yaml, ghc-libmpd-haskell.
