[QuickCheck] QuickCheck 2.9.1 (Haskell 8.0.1)

Wed Oct 19 18:42:17 BST 2016

Hi!

Sorry for the lack of reply, it seems the QuickCheck mailing list has
been down so your message didn't get through until now.

I'm afraid I don't have any good idea what has gone wrong. It looks
like one of those situations where cabal and GHC have got very
confused about what's installed on the system. You could try
ghc-pkg check to find any broken packages, I suppose (and then use
ghc-pkg unregister to get rid of them). Otherwise, all I can suggest
is nuking your .cabal directory and trying again.
