It seems the two clock packages are still subtly different, apparently
due to the tested variant pulling in a dependency on the test libraries.

Compare https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=36705.

Configuring tasty-hspec-1.1.5.1...
Warning:
    This package indirectly depends on multiple versions of the same package. This is very likely to cause a compile failure.
      package hspec-core (hspec-core-2.5.5-H06vLnMfEeIEsZFdji6h0O) requires clock-0.7.2-9qwmBbNbGzEOSffjlyarp
      package tasty (tasty-1.1.0.3-I8Vu9v0lHj8Jlg3jpKXavp) requires clock-0.7.2-Cf9UTsaN2AjEpBnoMpmgkU

It’s possible that this warning is really just a warning, and that there’s
no real problem here because the packages are really the same, but… I
don’t like it.
