Comment:
The filename problems turns out to be this:
The haddock-html field is ultimately printed out by:
{{{
showFilePath :: FilePath -> Doc
showFilePath = showToken
showToken :: String -> Doc
showToken str
| not (any dodgy str) &&
not (null str) = text str
| otherwise = text (show str)
where dodgy c = isSpace c || c == ','
}}}
Thus when haddock asks ghc-pkg for the haddock-html field and the path
contains spaces, it doesn't get a plain path back like it expects. It then
checks to see if the mangled path exists, which it doesn't.
I think the right way to fix this would be to have a ghc-pkg flag that
gives more machine understandable output. However, as I assume haddock-ghc
will not have this problem I'm going to close this bug; we might want to
open a new one for a machine-understandable flag to ghc-pkg anyway.
I've opened bugs in Cabal for a couple of issues that came up:
