hpc-0.6.0.3 fails with lts-8.3

[nponeccop]

It is included in the snapshot, but

stack install hpc --resolver lts-8.3

fails with

    Configuring hpc-0.6.0.3...
    Cabal-simple_mPHDZzAJ_1.24.0.0_ghc-8.0.1: Encountered missing dependencies:
    directory >=1.1 && <1.3 && ==1.3.0.0

Same happens with normal stack build for packages depending on hpc, and with nightly-2017-03-04.

Btw I'm on i686 linux if that matters.

The constraint is already addressed in HEAD:

http://git.haskell.org/packages/hpc.git/blobdiff/2ddcb82fa532b0c1db5222f2e13c8232de27db52..8625c1c0550719437acad89d49401cf048990084:/hpc.cabal

But I wonder how happened that the build succeeds on your side and fails on my side.

This looks more relevant to the Stack issue tracker than Stackage. From the error message, it seems that you're building with LTS 8.3—which requires GHC 8.0.2—but for some reason Stack is using GHC 8.0.1, which includes a different version of directory. The hpc package is a core library (shipped with GHC itself), so rebuilding it is an indication that something's gone wrong. At a guess, I'd say you have some settings leaking in from your stack.yaml file.

It looks like system ghc 8.0.1 was used somehow.
