Running stack install propellor today fails in two ways:

First up:

In the dependencies for propellor-5.5.0:
IfElse needed, but the stack configuration has no specified version  (latest
       matching version is 0.85) needed since propellor is a build target.

Some different approaches to resolving this:

* Consider trying 'stack solver', which uses the cabal-install solver to
attempt to find some working build configuration. This can be convenient
when dealing with many complicated constraint errors, but results may be
unpredictable.

* Recommended action: try adding the following to your extra-deps
in /Users/thom/.stack/global-project/stack.yaml:

IfElse-0.85@sha256:6939b94acc6a55f545f63a168a349dd2fbe4b9a7cca73bf60282db5cc6aa47d2

Once that's added, propellor fails to compile with:

I can reproduce this by bumping the lts version to 13.0 in master's stack.yaml and uttering stack build.
