Yikes, thanks for the report! I'll look into this. How were you building it? Via cabal? stack? Something else? And what version of GHC were you using?

[idontgetoutmuch]

@byorgey I will look at it - it's probably something I am doing but it's very odd

[byorgey]

@idontgetoutmuch any additional info you can provide? I just tried re-downloading BlogLiterately from Hackage and building using cabal build and GHC-8.8.1, and I was not able to reproduce this error.

[idontgetoutmuch]

I have

bash-3.2$ nix-shell -I nixpkgs=https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/archive/20.03.tar.gz shell.nix
error: Package ‘BlogLiterately-0.8.6.3’ in /nix/store/cg33qx5fdfm05y98jm4ihfblssdghdbb-20.03.tar.gz/pkgs/development/haskell-modules/hackage-packages.nix:2038 is marked as broken, refusing to evaluate.

I then tried to build it myself via nix at some reasonably current version of the main nix repo. I'll report back on my attempt when it finishes building.

[idontgetoutmuch]

Weirdly that built - I might have done a pull on nixpkgs so it is now more recent. Thanks for taking the time.

[byorgey]

OK, no worries, glad it builds now!
