Apologies for not getting back to you sooner. I have to admit that I'm a little concerned that it took quite so long for this bug to be fixed, given that it appears to have been reported well before the stretch freeze. If a package is incompatible with a newer version of Ocaml, is there no way of indicating this via e.g. dependency relationships, or the package somehow indicating which versions of Ocaml it is compatible with? This seems like the sort of thing that could also cause issues with partial upgrades between stable releases. Regards, Adam
