Please describe the problem.

extra-deps in stack.yaml seems to miss a few packages? I am pretty new to stack, so maybe I am misinterpreting, but following stacks suggestion below and adding

  • bloomfilter-2.0.1.0
  • network-multicast-0.2.0
  • torrent-10000.0.1

to my stack.yaml lets me build the latest master branch on jessie.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Checking out the latest commit (661dae3649f10a07ba6091a9a376ae1049fed716) and running "stack setup && stack install" should reproduce it? See transcript below.

What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?

6.20170101-android on Debian Jessie. Stack Version 1.3.2

Please provide any additional information below.

- bloomfilter-2.0.1.0
- network-multicast-0.2.0

Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders)

Yes, I am using it since a few years to manage my videos, photos and music. Thanks so much for this outstanding piece of software!

Seems that, since I have those packages globally installed, stack solver did not notice that they needed to be listed there. Hrm. Ok well, added them by hand. done --Joey
