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.

Changes:

.
[ Erik de Castro Lopo ]
* Add debian/patches/fix-PPC-right-shift-bug which fixes upstream GHC bug:
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/6156 (Closes: #677591)
* Refresh other patches.
* debian/contol: Add myself to uploaders and set DM-Upload-Allowed to yes.
.
[ Joachim Breitner ]
* debian/patches/no-useless-timer: Backported from GHC 7.4.2, (Closes:
#677096)
* Make sure GHC is using ld.bfd, as it passes arguments not understood by
the gold linker (Closes: #673081)
* Use a saner priority for the runhaskell alternative. (Closes: #676970).
TODO for later: Consider removing the alternatives code altogether.
