Here is another heads up:

I have now verified that (with a single exception) the quick fixes for
the MonadFail problems really are unsound, as I had already suspected:
they make darcs crash in situations in which it should rather fail in a
normal way, printing an error message. This could only be verified in
detail after finding a way to make our shell tests run again, which was
broken due to an undocumented behavior change in shelly-1.9.

I have prepared a new release 2.14.4 which fixes these problems and will
try to get it uploaded today. I think I will also mark 2.14.3 as
deprecated / not recommended because of the above mentioned issues.

It would be nice if you could make the jump to 2.14.4 when packaging.
Sorry for the inconvenience!
