[Haskell-cafe] Re: Updating Haskell Packages through Archlinux becoming A Pain
Hi Mathew, [My GHC installation breaks] when pacman updates a package using an AUR package, which cabal refuses to install because it can break other packages (yet the package still gets installed according to pacman). this bug has been fixed about two weeks ago; it should no longer occur with the current PKGBUILD files. An easy way to get your system back in shape is to un-install all Haskell packages by running pacman -R --cascade ghc ..., then clean up the package database with rm -rf /usr/lib/ghc-6.12.3 ..., and finally re-install those packages that you'd like to have. The procedure is a little awkward, I'm afraid, but you won't ever have to do it again, just this one time. ;-) Take care, Peter ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

In other words, pacman still syncs the package (puts the files on the system) and causes GHC to break, and if you do this for a big update, you have to manually go through and fix it all ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

Personally I gave up on installing haskell packages through AUR, I pretty much stick to Cabal now. ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
Re: [Haskell-cafe] Re: Updating Haskell Packages through Archlinux becoming A Pain
Yeah I used to do that as well, but then that kind of fails on packages that provides both libraries and binaries (and other issues as well) On 16/11/2010 4:53 PM, James Sanders jimmyjaz...@gmail.com wrote: Personally I gave up on installing haskell packages through AUR, I pretty much stick to Cabal now. ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
