Re: [Caml-list] opam package problem - can't install easy-format

We'd appreciate it if you opened an issue up on:
http://github.com/OCamlPro/opam-repository

It's likely that you don't have the latest version of OPAM (0.9.3), since
patch handling was changed to make it more robust.  Do also let us know
the compiler version you are running with in the bug report.

The easy_format package does successfully build on Linux x86_64/ocaml4
in our autobuilder:
