Over the past week or so it's been prone to ghc-pkg.exe starting to fail for a couple hours and then mysteriously recovering. Spike it for now so we don't need to nursemaid CI.


Template B: This PR does not modify behaviour or interface

E.g. the PR only touches documentation or tests, does refactorings, etc.

Include the following checklist in your PR:

  • Patches conform to the coding conventions.
  • Is this a PR that fixes CI? If so, it will need to be backported to older cabal release branches (ask maintainers for directions). (only if we need to make commits to the release branch)

Over the past week or so it's been prone to `ghc-pkg.exe` starting to
fail for a couple hours and then mysteriously recovering. Spike it for
now so we don't need to nursemaid CI.

There's no error message: the log shows ghc-pkg.exe being run, then Unexpected failure for…. It is already in the weird failures spreadsheet. I can add an issue, but there really isn't a whole lot to say without putting a wrapper around ghc-pkg.exe which is annoyingly complex on Windows.
