Re: [Caml-list] How do I get opam to show me why two packages conflict?

[Fabrice Le Fessant <fabrice.le_fessant@origin-labs.com>]

I have submitted `ez_opam_file` to opam-repository, a compatibility
library for opam-file-format supporting all of its versions. Once it's
accepted, I will submit the corresponding versions of `drom` and
`opam-bin`, so they should be installable in any switch.
