I first encountered this on some proprietary code for work, but I also see the same symptoms on my small cabal test project at https://github.com/fizbin/cabal-demo-backflip Note that I can `hdevtools...

Yes, sorry for the much-delayed reply. That is the issue I am seeing. ``` fizbin@Mac backflip$ hdevtools --version hdevtools: version 0.1.0.9 (ghc-7.8.3-x86_64-darwin, cabal-1.18.1.4) ``` I'll look into switching to 7.10,...

Also, the exact error shown above requires that you be working in a cabal sandbox, though a very similar error (showing a bad stack of `[GlobalPackageDB,UserPackageDB,GlobalPackageDB,UserPackageDB]`) happens without the sandbox

But the exact same source built on different machines will produce different packages. E.g., if I build my package on an Ubuntu 16.04 LTS machine (xenial) I will get a...

For the record, here's the workaround I've developed at the moment: ``` override_dh_virtualenv: dh_virtualenv --builtin-venv --python /usr/bin/python3 --skip-install --use-system-packages --upgrade-pip # dh_virtualenv should tie us tightly to a specific python...

For the record, the bug is not "the generated package doesn't work across python versions" but rather "because the generated package won't work across python versions, `dh_virtualenv` should generate versioned...

The failure has nothing to do with the file's size, though it is quite large. This compressed file violates one of the restrictions listed in https://github.com/ionescu007/minlzma/#limitations-and-restrictions: * The LZMA2 property...

Having re-read your comment, I tried again with `7-zip`. Indeed, `7-zip` will by default compress this file with a property byte other than the usual one of `lc = 3`,...

[test_file.txt](https://github.com/ggreer/the_silver_searcher/files/11344798/test_file.txt) Attached is the test file. It gets a bus error no matter what the filename is. (I had to rename the file to `test_file.txt` to attach it in github)
