Description

`vector-0.13.2.0` has introduced a sublibrary, and that is problematic because (a) GHC bug [#25025](https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/25025) has not yet been fixed and (b) `vector` is a popular library. (The GHC bug is that GHC's `-package ` causes an installed package to be exposed that is not one listed by `ghc-pkg list `.)

This has manifested at the Stack project, as it means that `vector` can no longer be used reliably in Haskell scripts:
