{-# LANGUAGE ScopedTypeVariables #-} {- The auto-update package: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/auto-update Users found a possible deadlock and livelock: https://www.reddit.com/r/haskell/comments/2i5d7m/updating_autoupdate/ This is the code from Control.AutoUpdate modified to use the @MonadConc@ abstraction, with tests added to verify that the issues identified are caught..
