+### Please describe the problem.
+git-annex-6.20170520 no longer builds successfully. My last successful build of git-annex-6.20170520 was Jun 12, 2017, but something has probably changed in at least one of the dependencies on Hackage since then.
+
+The build fails on all three Homebrew CI nodes (macOS 10.10, 10.11, and 10.12).
+
+A full log is here: <https://jenkins.brew.sh/job/Homebrew%20Core%20Pull%20Requests/3175/version=sierra/consoleText>
+
+Duplicate since that will eventually be deleted: <https://gist.github.com/ilovezfs/e93d135243d03567444eb10be8902a95>
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+Attempt to build git-annex in a cabal sandbox using cabal install.
+
+
+### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
+git-annex-6.20170520
+
+### Please provide any additional information below.
+
+The build error is

+### 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, thanks!
