ghc). Upstream has been notified
http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7993
and we tried a few things ourselves, but could not find out the exact
cause, and clearly no fix.
This will hold up a possible migration of ghc to testing. To unblock
this I’d like the s390x Haskell packags in s390x to be removed. (If
it
were a normal package, I’d just ask for removal in unstable, but due
to
the self hosting nature of GHC this would make getting a fixed
version
back into the archive much harder.)
Unfortunately, that's what you'll have to do (or wait until ghc is
fixed). Aside from the fact that we don't perform manual binary removals
from testing:
1) if migration is being blocked by out-of-date packages in unstable,
removing binaries from testing won't stop them being out-of-date in
unstable, so they still wouldn't be eligible for migration
2) if the s390x binary packages remain in unstable, all that will
happen is britney will try re-migrating them on the next run (and keep
trying every run until they either migrate or get removed from
unstable).
I spare you the pasting of the long lists here; but the list of
packages
to be removed should be
$ wget
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/source/Sources.bz2
$ bzcat Sources.bz2 |grep-dctrl -F Build-Depends ghc -s Package
-n|sort
