Hmm, If I start off with your 6.8.3 installed:
$ ls -l /Library/Frameworks/GHC.framework/Versions/
total 8
drwxrwxr-x 4 root admin 136 Jun 18 03:10 608
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 3 Aug 29 12:57 Current -> 608
then while my GHC-6.9.20080828-i386.pkg is installing I see:
$ ls -l /Library/Frameworks/GHC.framework/Versions/
total 8
drwxrwxr-x 4 root admin 136 Aug 29 12:58 609
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 3 Aug 29 12:57 Current -> 608
(i.e. 608 has disappeared, but it isn't the whole GHC.framework that's
been removed because the Current link is still there)
and then when the installer has finished:
$ ls -l /Library/Frameworks/GHC.framework/Versions/
total 8
drwxrwxr-x 4 root admin 136 Aug 29 12:58 609
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 3 Aug 29 12:57 Current -> 608
It's possible that this is something that I've broken (although I can't
think how), or that I've built the installer incorrectly. Or maybe there
is some system setting that tells installers whether or not to
automatically remove old versions?
Thanks
Ian
