[Haskell-cafe] Problem with publishing project/packages

[Dominik Schrempf]

By the way, I just failed building the documentation. This is all wrong :|.

    Resolving dependencies...
    Build profile: -w ghc-8.8.3 -O1
    In order, the following will be built (use -v for more details):
     - matrices-0.5.0 (lib) (requires build)
     - storable-complex-0.2.3.0 (lib:storable-complex) (requires build)
     - hmatrix-0.20.0.0 (lib) (requires build)
     - elynx-tools-0.2.2 (lib) (first run)
    Starting     storable-complex-0.2.3.0 (all, legacy fallback)
    Starting     matrices-0.5.0 (lib)
