@alexbiehl: this is great for a quickfix, but what do you think about trying not to use Prelude at all and then adding a test that indeed turns off Prelude and compiles Paths_ so that don't stumble into this problem again?

Also, whatever happend to the previous PR? :)

[phadej]

turning of prelude can be done with NoImplicitPrelude in the Paths_ file (when such extension is available), and doing import Prelude () otherwise.

After some problems to build cabal from this commit, i've tried it with policeman package and it worked 👍

[jneira]

This is the minimum change (so minimum risk to break things) which fixes it so imo we could merge this and do the definitive fix in another one on top of it

[alexbiehl]

Thanks @jneira for trying it on the Kowainik packages!!

@alexbiehl: ping? we should probably stick this into 3.6.2 RSN, so what's your recommendation about the wider context?

[alexbiehl]

@Mikolaj My recommendation is to merge as is. Refactoring the code to avoid Prelude will take more time and I'd need to spend substantial time on it.

[Mikolaj]

Got it. Let's do that.
