+### Please describe the problem.
+I am getting build errors when trying to compile git-annex with QuickCheck 2.8.2.
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+Build git-annex with QuickCheck 2.8.2, and get the following errors:

+### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
+git-annex 6.20160114, on Arch Linux x86_64.
+
+### Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders)
+Yes, it built fine with QuickCheck 2.8. I didn't test with 2.8.1, though.
