update' to download it.
Error: [Cabal-7107]
Could not resolve dependencies:
[__0] trying: aeson-2.2.1.0 (user goal)
[__1] unknown package: witherable (dependency of aeson)
[__1] fail (backjumping, conflict set: aeson, witherable)
After searching the rest of the dependency tree exhaustively, these were the goals I've had most trouble fulfilling: aeson, witherable
