Examples
Use the system ghc:
❯ cabal run -- cabal-solver-plan --with-ghc
[__0] done
You need to specify one or more targets. E.g. let's find a plan for mtl.
❯ cabal run -- cabal-solver-plan --with-ghc mtl
[__0] unknown package: mtl (user goal)
[__0] fail (backjumping, conflict set: mtl)
Exhaustive search failed
conflict set: mtl
conflict map: fromList [(P (Q (PackagePath DefaultNamespace QualToplevel) (PackageName "mtl")),1)]
Of course, what's mtl after all?
❯ cabal run -- cabal-solver-plan --with-ghc --package-db global mtl
