`cabal install hi` fails due to `optparse-applicative`

[andreasabel]

This fails:

cabal install hi

This works:

$ cabal install hi --constraint="optparse-applicative<0.16"

Suggestions:

• quick fix: make a revision on hackage adding the missing upper bound
• long-term fix: fix the error and switch to optparse-applicative >= 0.16

Further details

cabal install hi

    • Couldn't match expected type ‘ParseError’
                  with actual type ‘Maybe String -> ParseError’
    • Probable cause: ‘ShowHelpText’ is applied to too few arguments
      In the third argument of ‘parserFailure’, namely ‘ShowHelpText’
      In the second argument of ‘($)’, namely
        ‘parserFailure pprefs pinfo ShowHelpText mempty’
