I have recently updated my GHC version to 6.8.2 and I am no longer
able to build and install your excellent Streams library.

I get the error:
"Setup.lhs:11:53
Couldn't match expected type 'Distribution.Verbosity.Verbosity'
Against inferred type 'IO FilePath'
In the first argument of 'readPackageDescription', namely
'pkg_descr_file'
In a 'do' expression:
Pkg_descr <- readPackageDescription pkg_descr_file
In the expression:
Do pkg_descr_file <- defaultPackageDesc
Pkg_descr <- readPackageDescription pkg_descr_file
Let isWindows = "mingw" 'isPrefixOf' System.Info.os
Config = ...
defaultMainNoRead config


I have tried the darcs stable branch and getting the gziped src both
have the same issue.

I should add that this builds fine with 6.6.2, I thought I remembered
that there was some sort of change to Cabal that occurred around ghc
6.8.2 but I cannot remember what it was.

Is there a known workaround for this?
