I have another machine, which is under Wheezy. And there * ghc-7.6.3 has made successfully ghc-7.8.20140130 from source, * ghc-7.8.20140130 cannot make itself from source, reporting
------------------- ... Configuring ghc-7.8.20140130... ghc-cabal: The following installed packages are broken because other packages they depend on are missing. These broken packages must be rebuilt before they can be used. package Cabal-1.18.1.3 is broken due to missing package array-0.4.0.1-3b78425c10ff2dad7acf7e8c8ae014c3, base-4.6.0.1-8aa5d403c45ea59dcd2c39f123e27d57 ... ... ------------------- I am sorry, I understand very few in the installation techniques, nor in the system matters. May I, please, ask the following question? Does the above situation mean that (1) the GHC `maker' has Cabal inside it (or it calls for Cabal which needs to be in the System?) (2) ghc-7.8.20140130 has a higher Cabal version than ghc-7.6.3, (3) this higher Cabal version needs different packages than Cabal in ghc-7.6.3 ?
