Package: pkg-haskell-tools Version: 0.12.5 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Hi, I hope I'm reporting this to the right package. I'm reporting it here because "dht init" is the entry point, and I ran out of time tracing where to actually fix this. The steps to reproduce are: Use 'dht init' to create the new haskell-encoding package from the package-plan.txt, then dpkg-buildpackage. It fails because "cabal configure" (invoked by haskell-devscripts, I think), changes the project settings, then $something tries to save them as a new global $user default to $HOME/.config/cabal/config, which then fails because /homedoesnotexistatbuildtime doesn't exist and would require root to create. The two resolutions I see are: 1. Stop setting DEB_SETUP_BIN_NAME in new debian/rules files 2. Maybe set it to something else? Thanks to Clint on #debian-haskell for help figuring out the cause. Regards, Nicholas
