Package: ghc Version: 8.0.1-14 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Since upgrading to ghc 8.0.1, when trying to backspace user-entered text (e.g. a getLine event) in a running haskell program (whether compiled with this version of ghc, or interpreted), the terminal displays "^?" for backspace, "^[[3~" for delete and other codes for arrow keys. It appears to be previously reported, and resolved, here: https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/2606 Looks to be a problem with how ghci is compiled and libedit/libreadline/ncurses-dev as the module "System.Console.Editline.Readline" is missing: GHCi, version 8.0.1: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ :? for help Prelude> :browse System.Console.Editline.Readline <no location info>: error: Could not find module ‘System.Console.Editline.Readline’ It is not a module in the current program, or in any known package.
