This explains why patch2175 was causing problems. GHC 8.4.4 happens to come with Cabal 2.2 so it was trying to use it to parse the Cabal file. Later versions probably come with Cabal >=2.4, and earlier versions probably come with Cabal <2.2 so always have to rebuild it at which point they choose a newer version. 1 patch for repository darcs-unstable@darcs.net:screened: patch 529539efd5313cfc85fd670cdae948751bd04f84 Author: Ganesh Sittampalam <ganesh@earth.li> Date: Mon May 24 23:16:26 BST 2021 * bump setup-depends Cabal bound to match Cabal-Version Attachments bump-setup_depends-cabal-bound-to-match-cabal_version.dpatch patch-preview.txt unnamed

I'm self-accepting this (as well as "support Cabal 3.4" which it depends on) along with pushing push2175, as it is quite trivial and fixes CI.
