Comment (by jrp):

 It would be great to get 8.6.4 out, if only to fix this bug, which is a
 real productivity killer as I seem to need to empty my `.ghc` and `.cabal`
 directories and reinstall the libraries needed for whatever my project
 using to get going.  Unless someone knows of a better workaround.
 {{{
 Resolving dependencies...
 cabal: Could not resolve dependencies:
 [__0] trying: directory-1.3.3.2 (user goal)
 [__1] next goal: ghc (user goal)
 [__1] rejecting: ghc-8.6.3/installed-8.6... (conflict: directory==1.3.3.2,
 ghc
 => directory==1.3.3.0/installed-1.3...)
 [__1] rejecting: ghc-8.6.1, ghc-8.4.3, ghc-8.4.1, ghc-8.2.2, ghc-8.2.1
 (constraint from user target requires ==8.6.3)
 [__1] fail (backjumping, conflict set: directory, ghc)
 After searching the rest of the dependency tree exhaustively, these were
 the
 goals I've had most trouble fulfilling: directory, ghc
 }}}
