Fails to build with base64 >= 1

[d5ng4i]

Building with cabal, which resolves base64 to 1.0, fails.

We either need to pin base64 <1 in hledger-web or need to update the code.

cabal build all

Hledger/Web/Widget/AddForm.hs:189:7: error:
    • Couldn't match type ‘base64-1.0:Data.Base64.Types.Internal.Base64
                             'base64-1.0:Data.Base64.Types.Internal.StdPadded Text’

Update:

For now, we (alpine) have pinned base64 <1 here. I believe other distributions building hledger with cabal would be facing the same.

Thanks for the report. I have revised hledger-web-1.32.3 on hackage and pushed a fix to master.
