Package: ghc Version: 7.4.1-3 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
When I try to insall ghc, this is the output I get: asm@tara:~$ sudo apt-get install ghc Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Suggested packages: ghc-prof ghc-doc haskell-doc llvm-3.0 The following NEW packages will be installed: ghc 0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 0 B/45.8 MB of archives. After this operation, 288 MB of additional disk space will be used. Selecting previously unselected package ghc. (Reading database ... 166376 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking ghc (from .../archives/ghc_7.4.1-3_amd64.deb) ... Processing triggers for man-db ... Setting up ghc (7.4.1-3) ... update-alternatives: priority is out of range Usage: update-alternatives [<option> ...] <command> Commands: --install <link> <name> <path> <priority> [--slave <link> <name> <path>] ... add a group of alternatives to the system. --remove <name> <path> remove <path> from the <name> group alternative. --remove-all <name> remove <name> group from the alternatives system. --auto <name> switch the master link <name> to automatic mode. --display <name> display information about the <name> group. --query <name> machine parseable version of --display <name>. --list <name> display all targets of the <name> group. --get-selections list master alternative names and their status. --set-selections read alternative status from standard input. --config <name> show alternatives for the <name> group and ask the user to select which one to use. --set <name> <path> set <path> as alternative for <name>. --all call --config on all alternatives. <link> is the symlink pointing to /etc/alternatives/<name>. (e.g. /usr/bin/pager) <name> is the master name for this link group. (e.g. pager) <path> is the location of one of the alternative target files. (e.g. /usr/bin/less) <priority> is an integer; options with higher numbers have higher priority in automatic mode. Options: --altdir <directory> change the alternatives directory. --admindir <directory> change the administrative directory. --log <file> change the log file. --force allow replacing files with alternative links. --skip-auto skip prompt for alternatives correctly configured in automatic mode (relevant for --config only) --verbose verbose operation, more output. --quiet quiet operation, minimal output. --help show this help message. --version show the version. dpkg: error processing ghc (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2 Errors were encountered while processing: ghc E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) Running, dpkg --configure ghc, returns the same error. Someone on the Debian IRC suggested that this was a packaging bug that just fudged the priority number for update-alternatives. I have reproduced this bug on two independent systems now. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages ghc depends on: ii gcc 4:4.7.0-6 ii libbsd-dev 0.4.0-1 ii libc6 2.13-33 ii libc6-dev 2.13-33 ii libffi-dev 3.0.10-3 ii libffi5 3.0.10-3 ii libgmp-dev 2:5.0.5+dfsg-2 ii libgmp10 2:5.0.5+dfsg-2 ii libncurses5 5.9-8 ii libtinfo5 5.9-8 ghc recommends no packages.
