Build failure with text-2.1.2

Summary

When built with text-2.1.2 (uploaded 2024-10-26T13:22:01Z) in the package set, the following errors occur:

src/PlutusLedgerApi/Common/Eval.hs:117:34: error: [GHC-87543]
    Ambiguous occurrence ‘show’.
    It could refer to
       either ‘PlutusCore.show’,
              imported from ‘PlutusCore’ at src/PlutusLedgerApi/Common/Eval.hs:23:1-17
              (and originally defined in ‘GHC.Show’),
           or ‘Text.show’,
              imported from ‘Data.Text’ at src/PlutusLedgerApi/Common/Eval.hs:45:1-24.

It seems that Data.Text added a show function in 2.1.2 and PlutusLedgerApi.Common.Eval has

import Data.Text as Text

A similar problem occurs in AnyProgram.Run.

The any.text source constraint is copied from cardano-api where I first noticed the problem during release integration.

Actual Result

See the error message in the description.

Expected Result

Build succeeds.

Describe the approach you would take to fix this

Using import Data.Text as Text hiding (show) isn't ideal because it prevents building with an older version of text. Ideally, Data.Text would be imported qualified, but I assume the team prefers it done unqualified. So the remaining option is to qualify the use of show as PlutusCore.show.

This problem doesn't need to be solved right away, because we can work around it in cardano-api with an additional constraint, text <2.1.2. However, it would be better in the long term if this was fixed, since having to add a constraint in a different project to make this one build isn't ideal.
