The current version on hackage does not compile with cabal.
Without upper bounds on http-client cabal tries to use the 0.5 version, but the checkStatusfunction has been renamed to checkResponse and the type signature also changed. (http-client changelog)
Since stack is still stuck on version 0.4, even the nightly, I think it's better to put an upper bound for now and once a 0.5 version is in a stack lts it can be relaxed and updated to >= 0.5 so that is uses the new version.
