Same problem with GHC ver. 8.10.4, but conflicts with base:

This seems to have to do with the dependency on base; support for versions 4.13 and later has apparently been removed from the latest version of binary. Downgrading binary to version 0.8.8, however, seems to fix the problem.

[bgamari]

It appears that binary-0.10.0.0 was revised to exclude base-4.13 and earlier. The reason for this appears to be compatibility with the MonadFail proposal: the Monad instance for Get tries to define the fail method, which no longer exists. This is fixed in master.
