### Please describe the problem. Working to update the macOS Homebrew Formula for git-annex 7.20191009 and I'm receiving a build error using the Homebrew build system to build via ghc 8.6.5 on macOS 10.14.6: [[!format sh """ [ 70 of 624] Compiling Utility.Shell ( Utility/Shell.hs, dist/dist-sandbox-11319d3/build/git-annex/git-annex-tmp/Utility/Shell.o ) [ 71 of 624] Compiling Git.Types ( Git/Types.hs, dist/dist-sandbox-11319d3/build/git-annex/git-annex-tmp/Git/Types.o ) [ 72 of 624] Compiling Utility.FileSystemEncoding ( Utility/FileSystemEncoding.hs, dist/dist-sandbox-11319d3/build/git-annex/git-annex-tmp/Utility/FileSystemEncoding.o ) [ 73 of 624] Compiling Utility.Base64 ( Utility/Base64.hs, dist/dist-sandbox-11319d3/build/git-annex/git-annex-tmp/Utility/Base64.o ) [ 74 of 624] Compiling Utility.Aeson ( Utility/Aeson.hs, dist/dist-sandbox-11319d3/build/git-annex/git-annex-tmp/Utility/Aeson.o ) [ 75 of 624] Compiling Types.Messages ( Types/Messages.hs, dist/dist-sandbox-11319d3/build/git-annex/git-annex-tmp/Types/Messages.o ) [ 76 of 624] Compiling Database.Handle ( Database/Handle.hs, dist/dist-sandbox-b74b6b12/build/git-annex/git-annex-tmp/Database/Handle.o ) Database/Handle.hs:273:28: error: • Could not deduce (BackendCompatible SqlBackend backend) arising from a use of ‘close'’ from the context: (IsPersistBackend backend, BaseBackend backend ~ SqlBackend) bound by the type signature for: closeRobustly :: forall backend.

[[!format sh """ # brew install ghc@8.6 # brew install --verbose --build-bottle git-annex` """]] ### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system? git-annex 7.20191009 macOS 10.14.6 The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 8.6.5 ### Please provide any additional information below. [[!format sh """ # If you can, paste a complete transcript of the problem occurring here. # If the problem is with the git-annex assistant, paste in .git/annex/daemon.log # End of transcript or log. """]] ### 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) git-annex has been awesome for managing a massive collection of raw images and video clips across several storage targets and editing systems. > [[fixed|done]] --[[Joey]]
