Comment (by J.Gilbey@…):

 Replying to [comment:18 cal@…]:
 > I think `pandoc` should be fixed with r131411.
 >
 > This was more complicated than I anticipated, and I chose not to update
 everything to the latest version due to the problem with the `text`
 package. While we could ship a separate, newer version of `text`, a
 package that depends on two different versions of `text` (e.g. along two
 separate paths in its dependency tree) is considered broken and triggers a
 warning that you shouldn't do that and it could lead to compile failures.
 >
 > So there were basically two ways to tackle this problem:
 >  - Ignore what the current Haskell Platform does, update hs-text and
 rebuild all its dependencies against the newer version (which would
 probably require updating them, in turn). That would make the `haskell-
 platform` port pointless.
 >  - Package the latest versions that will still work with whatever is
 currently in the platform. I went with this route.
 >
 > Please test whether this works for you. Please also comment on whether
 `pandoc` 1.12.4.2 is new enough for you, or whether you'd really, really
 want version 1.13.*.

 > If you encounter any problems with `pandoc`, please re-open this report.

 Wow, Cal, thank you!

 I'm going to try a clean install of MacPorts and see whether this works -
 I'll let you know the results!
