It says that fetchurl found that URL to be a 404. Does it work for you?

I haven't thought about it much. It said "this is a bug" and I left it at that. Let me check and get back to you.

I can see in https://downloads.haskell.org/ghc/8.10.3/ that ghc 8.10.3 changed from deb8 to deb9. Closing the issue.
