Description
I am following instructions here:
https://github.com/moby/hyperkit#building
and get this error:
$ opam install uri qcow.0.10.3 conduit.1.0.0 lwt.3.1.0 qcow-tool mirage-block-unix.2.9.0 conf-libev logs fmt mirage-unix prometheus-app
The following dependencies couldn't be met:
- qcow-tool → qcow >= 0.10.4
- qcow-tool → sha = 1.9 → ocaml < 4.06.0
base of this switch (use `--unlock-base' to force)
Your request can't be satisfied:
- No available version of qcow satisfies the constraints
No solution found, exiting
