The latest GHC version available in the main channel is 9.2.5, released 
in November 2022. Latest 9.2.x is now 9.2.8. I would also like to 
mention that no GHC versions matching 9.4.x and 9.6.x are available either.

According to https://www.haskell.org/ghc/download.html , the current 
stable releases are 9.6.3, 9.4.7, and 9.2.8.

Since GHC is upstream for a lot of Haskell packages I have elected to 
file a report instead of packaging them myself. Thank you for your time.

I’m updating GHC to 9.2.8 on the haskell-team branch, 9.4.4 is packaged
as ghc-next and there’s a patch-set to bump to 9.4.8 and add 9.6 here:
