The cleanest fix would be if doctest would detect this situation and fail gracefully: https://github.com/sol/doctest-haskell/issues/46 OK. This bug is under jurisdiction of haskell-doctest. Although it can be understood that this bug should be solved at haskell-doctest, if it is taken into consideration that GHCi is supporting architectures only amd64, i386, hurd-i386, kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, powerpc, sparc, powerpcspe, and not supporting official armel, armhd, ia64, mips, mipsel, s390, s390x, and unofficial alpha, hppa, m68k, ppc64, sh4, sparc64, x32, it may be worthy of considering avoiding the test by doctest. Yes, but it should be avoided centrally, i.e. in doctest itself. No need to encode the information “doctest needs GHCi” in every packages that uses doctest. Since libghc-conduit-dev is build-depended from many other haskell packages, it blocks building many packages now. http://buildd.debian-ports.org/status/architecture.php?a=ppc64&suite=experimental If another wishlist BTS to haskell-conduit about this is needed, shall I post it? no need, as there is no change to conduit required. I’ll just upload the new doctest as soon as it is released. OK. I'll give-back to build haskell-conduit on ppc64 as soon as new haskell-doctest built. But it is surely a problem that GHCi's supporting architectures are very few, only Intel architectures, 32-bit PowerPC, and 32-bit SPARC. These days, there is a tendency that haskell packages depending on ghc-ghci increase, it has been really troubled a little.
