Is there an issue with Haskell GHC 8.4.3 on Travis?

Question

My Travis builds are failing when they attempt to install using the nightly resolver (since 8.4.3) with:

Answer 1

Moving to an answer from the comments: the issue is that Travis has run out of disk space. This can be observed by passing the --verbose flag to Stack. My recommendation is to clear the cache and try again.

I've also opened up a Stack issue to improve the output in this case.
