+I recently updated to the latest Propellor and now I'm getting an error building on a remote host:
+
+    [86 of 94] Compiling Propellor.Bootstrap ( src/Propellor/Bootstrap.hs, dist/build/propellor-config/propellor-config-tmp/Propellor/Bootstrap.o )
+    
+        src/Propellor/Bootstrap.hs:237:22:
+        No instance for (Typeable Bootstrapper)
+          arising from a use of `fromInfo'
+        Possible fix:
+          add an instance declaration for (Typeable Bootstrapper)
+        In the expression: fromInfo (maybe mempty hostInfo mh)
+        In a stmt of a 'do' block:
+          case fromInfo (maybe mempty hostInfo mh) of {
+            NoInfoVal
+              -> do { bs <- getGitConfigValue "propellor.buildsystem";
+                      case bs of {
+                        Just "stack" -> ...
+                        _ -> ... } }
+            InfoVal bs
+              -> case getBuilder bs of {
+                   Cabal -> cabalBuild msys
+                   Stack -> stackBuild msys } }
+        In the second argument of `($)', namely
+          `do { case fromInfo (maybe mempty hostInfo mh) of {
+                  NoInfoVal -> do { ... }
+                  InfoVal bs
+                    -> case getBuilder bs of {
+                         Cabal -> ...
+                         Stack -> ... } } }'
+    propellor: cabal build failed
+
+I guess I'm missing something, but not sure what?

+I tried adding:
+
+      & bootstrapWith (Robustly Stack)
+
+But that fails trying to install stack:
+
+    Fetched 413 kB in 7s (54.3 kB/s)                           
+    Reading package lists...                                   
+    E: Unable to locate package haskell-stack                  
+    sh: 1: stack: not found                                    
+    sh: 1: stack: not found                                    
+
+That's not really too surprising, of course, since this package isn't in jessie (or stretch, for that matter).

+Okay, got it to work:
+
+1. Installed haskell-stack by hand from unstable (the package works fine even on jessie).
+2. Removed the \"dist\" directory in the remote /usr/local/propellor.
+
+After that the build was successful; I think that points to the original failure being due to the ancient GHC in jessie, but I'm not 100% sure.
