Hi James, Thanks for the update and for looking into this issue. I am glad to see there is progress on this issue. I hope we can get a timely resolution on this bug and #839314. If not, I will request that cairocffi drops its Build-Dependency and then remove xcffib plus haskell-xcb-types from testing. Thanks, ~Niels
