Nix package broken

[klarkc]

I was trying to using it with nix:

nix-shell -p haskellPackages.patat

error: Package ‘patat-0.8.7.0’ in /nix/store/qb1d20c0rvf718yf505wkzb4bjbzqyiw-nixpkgs/nixpkgs/pkgs/development/haskell-modules/hackage-packages.nix:213831 is marked as broken, refusing to evaluate.

Running nix-build on nixpkgs got me this:

Workaround: Got an old version working (v0.8.1.3)

I think this can be more or less solved by releasing a new version of patat on Hackage.
