Package: ghc6
Version: 6.8.2-5
Severity: important

Hi Ian,

After your upload of GHC 6.8.2-5 the build daemon on powerpc tried to
build a couple of packages of mine (haskell-hsql, haskell-uulib and 
haxml) but failed to build them. In the logs I see the following happen:

 dh_testdir
 ghc --make Setup -o setup -package Cabal 
 ghc-6.8.2: timer_create: Invalid argument
 make: *** [setup] Error 1
 dpkg-buildpackage: failure: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2

This will cause FTBFS on a libraries with a Cabal build system.

BTW on my AMD64 it still works fine:

 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/debian/haskell-uulib$ dpkg -s ghc6 | grep Version:
 Version: 6.8.2-5
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/debian/haskell-uulib$ ./debian/rules setup
 test -d debian/patched || install -d debian/patched
 dpatch  apply-all  
 dpatch  cat-all  >>patch-stampT
 mv -f patch-stampT patch-stamp
 dh_testdir
 ghc --make Setup -o setup -package Cabal 
 [1 of 1] Compiling Main             ( Setup.hs, Setup.o )
 Linking setup ...

Greetings Arjan
