Getting ambiguous occurrence `fail`?

Building library for sqlite-simple-0.4.18.1..
[ 1 of 12] Compiling Database.SQLite.Simple.Ok ( Database/SQLite/Simple/Ok.hs, dist/build/Database/SQLite/Simple/Ok.o )

Database/SQLite/Simple/Ok.hs:86:14: error:
    Ambiguous occurrence ‘fail’
    It could refer to either ‘Prelude.fail’,
                             imported from ‘Prelude’ at Database/SQLite/Simple/Ok.hs:31:8-32
                             (and originally defined in ‘GHC.Base’)
                          or ‘Control.Monad.Fail.fail’,
                             imported from ‘Control.Monad.Fail’ at Database/SQLite/Simple/Ok.hs:40:1-25

86 |     throwM = fail . show

I'm not sure why this might suddenly be happening, since revision 4939058.

Building on ghc 8.6.5

Thanks!

Do you still need GHC 8.6 support? It's very old. We don't test with 8.6 nowadays. If you still need sqlite-simple to work with 8.6, do you have a general fix that works and is elegant for 8.6 and later versions (i.e. that does not resort to differentiating for version 8.6)?

I'm not sure why I needed it before. I certainly don't now. Let's ignore, cheers
