I've asked them to backport 6.4.2 for dapper, but they are reluctant as it would require backporting all third party software (or at least libraries) as well. I filed a request to backport it, but for some reason, I am unable to find it again. If you can make sense of the hopeless launchpad user interface, feel free to add you voice to the choir. >> You're cabal version is too old then.

It would sure be nice to have a working ghc as part of the base distribution, with automatically upgrades etc. Let's hope they put a stable 6.6 into Edgy. -k -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
