Bug#705123: raincat: fails to build with ghc 7.6.2: needs to switch to extensible exceptions

[Colin Watson]

Package: raincat
Version: 1.1-3
Severity: important
User: ubuntu-devel at lists.ubuntu.com
Usertags: origin-ubuntu raring

If you try to build raincat with ghc 7.6.2, you get this:

  cd src && ghc -O --make Main.hs
  
  Game/GameInput.hs:6:8:
      Could not find module `Control.OldException'
      Perhaps you meant Control.Exception (from base)
      Use -v to see a list of the files searched for.
  make: *** [build-stamp] Error 1

This corresponds to a deprecation message you get when building against
the ghc in unstable:

  Game/GameInput.hs:6:1:
      Warning: Module `Control.OldException' is deprecated:
                 Future versions of base will not support the old exceptions style. Please switch to extensible exceptions.
