Hi all, Timothy,

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.

Cheers
Robert
