+You will need to get in touch with the OpenBSD maintainers to get them to
+update the package. Nothing that filing a bug here can do about it.

+them from building a newer version of course.
+
+ghc 8.10 is not old at all, it's a commonly used version, and the version of
+cabal is also recent enough. git-annex should build with those versions.
