Most of the errors look like this:

[__3] fail (backjumping, conflict set: containers, ghc)
After searching the rest of the dependency tree exhaustively, these were the
goals I've had most trouble fulfilling: containers, ghc, doctest, test-doctest
Try running with --minimize-conflict-set to improve the error message.

Most likely, we need to add an empty patch for containers-0.7, similar to the existing empty patch for containers-0.6.8.
