The 6.2 version of ghc-pkg is incorrectly parses commas within quotes. [...]
This was a side-effect of a slighty obscure feature of ghc-pkg. I've made things more robust now. From the CVS log:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fixed the previous commit: All lists of Strings in package configuration files were split at commas to allow list-based variables, but this broke perfectly sensible things like
["-Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib/jvm-bridge/lib/"]
into
["-Wl","-rpath","/usr/lib/jvm-bridge/lib/"]
which is plainly wrong. Now we do this *only* when a variable occurs on its own, like:
["${deps}","foo"] => ["base","haskell98","network","foo"]
I have slight doubts about this obscure feature, but Sigbjorn seems to want it... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I can't see a good workaround, either, so you'll probably have to wait for the next release... :-(
Cheers, S.
