OTOH this does work

let

myHaskellPackageOverlay = self: super: {
  myHaskellPackages = super.haskellPackages.override {
    overrides = hself: hsuper: rec {
      htoml = super.haskell.lib.dontCheck (hself.callCabal2nixWithOptions "htoml" (builtins.fetchGit {
        url = "https://github.com/mirokuratczyk/htoml";
        rev = "33971287445c5e2531d9605a287486dfc3cbe1da";
      }) "" { });
    };
  };
};

in

{ nixpkgs ? import (fetchTarball "https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/archive/refs/tags/22.11.tar.gz")
  {
    config.allowBroken = false;
    overlays = [ myHaskellPackageOverlay ];
  }
}:

let

  pkgs = nixpkgs;

  haskellDeps = ps: with ps; [
    base Frames
  ];

in

pkgs.stdenv.mkDerivation {
  name = "Whatever";

  buildInputs = [
    pkgs.libintlOrEmpty
    (pkgs.myHaskellPackages.ghcWithPackages haskellDeps)
  ];
}

[idontgetoutmuch]

Why does Frames even need this package (htoml)?

[acowley]

I think it’s used in a test.

As another workaround, use this nixpkgs commit: nixpkgs_frames.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs/710fed5a2483f945b14f4a58af2cd3676b42d8c8";
