I believe part of the problem is your invariant is too open. You currently have:
ocaml >= 4.05.0
which allows your current switch to be downgraded if the solver wants it to.
My guess as to why it happens is that opam doesn't currently work very well when there is a combination of such an open invariant and a compiler package that has the avoid-version
flag. I'll have a closer look at it after the release of opam 2.2.0
We discussed this issue during today's dev meeting. We have discussed of several possible fixes and will have a go at it once we have more time after the release of 2.2.0.
Perfect, you where perfectly right about my invariant so it is not blocking!
Trying to use
merlin
(in preview for5.2.0
), to work onmerlin
, I was forced to do a bit of manual installation:When I try to install merlin on a local-switch on
5.2.0+beta1
withOPAM 2.2.0~beta1
I face to:If I try to be more explicit:
I face to
And @kit-ty-kate suggested I run this command, which works:
But as the solver seems capricious, he offered to fill in a ticket. If I can provide any further information, please don't hesitate!
