Running cabal install haddock results in
Error: cabal: Could not resolve dependencies:

[__3] fail (backjumping, conflict set: ghc, haddock-api)
After searching the rest of the dependency tree exhaustively, these were the
goals I've had most trouble fulfilling: base, haddock, ghc, haddock-api,
haddock:in-ghc-tree
Try running with --minimize-conflict-set to improve the error message.
This was reported on the #ghc IRC and I confirmed I was unable to install it.
The -in-ghc-tree bit in the error message seems suspicious.
Thanks!

If hackage uploads do not happen from this repo I cannot help much.
Adding this here because it sounds related: haddock 2.29.0 on hackage is currently not installable because it depends on haddock-api which has conflicting dependencies base-4.16 and ghc-9.6.
cabal-install's --allow-newer option can be used as a workaround, eg cabal install haddock-2.29.0 --allow-newer. It builds with ghc 9.6/base 4.18, so it seems that https://hackage.haskell.org/package/haddock-api should have a revision adjusting the base upper bound to base<4.19 (eg).
@Kleidukos do you think you could relax base bound in haddock-api on Hackage through a revision, by any chance? That is, 4.17 » 4.19. Looks like a no-brainer to me, since we checked that it builds.
Yep, can do that.
Edit: Done.
