ERROR while installing lwt.2.4.5

[UnixJunkie]

Am I the only one getting this?
No lwt means no utop. That's not cool.
Here is the OPAM trace:

Easy to reproduce:

opam remove base-threads
opam install lwt # fails

opam install base-threads
opam install lwt # works

So, to me, it looks like base-threads is a hard dependency of lwt, not an optional one.
If it is really supposed to be an optional dependency of lwt, then the lwt package or lwt
itself should be corrected so that it can compile and install properly even after an

opam remove base-threads

patchs are always welcome

This was fixed by 878ed9d in OPAM, and current Lwt itself doesn't have this issue anymore because the "extra" library that was causing trouble has since been removed.

With the linked patch, Lwt 2.4.5 correctly compiles without base-threads.

EDIT: "extra" was removed in 2.4.7, so the linked patch is exhaustive.

According to @aantron, this can be closed.
