Documentation rebuilds don't seem to work

[revnull]

A package of mine failed the documentation build (which itself may be an issue worth raising), but I clicked the "delete documentation and trigger rebuild" button (after setting more lenient dependencies), which did not actually trigger another rebuild.

The package is at https://hackage.haskell.org/package/implicit-logging

Thanks for this report! It looks like the issue is that the package excludes the base version provided by the GHC release run on the doc builder (evidently GHC 8.0.1 now),

Dependency tree exhaustively searched.

Really this should fail with a better error message. As for the bounds issue, I'm not sure how the doc builder should deal with this situation.

Oh, perhaps I mis-read your report: you said you set more lenient dependencies; how exactly did you go about doing this?

@bgamari I think the main issue here is that we have this button that says it triggers a rebuild, but by our current docbuilder setup apparently does nothing :-)

Closing this in favor of #515 which I think is the same issue? correct me if wrong.
