The fix is indeed simple.  In fact you're just using the wrong 'try',
because Yesod handlers aren't IO actions, but actions in a monad that is
specific to your application, called Handler.  The error message
suggests that, although the type is spelled out completely there.

What you want is the lifted version of 'try', which you find in the
Control.Exception.Lifted module.
