I looked more closely at the logs I have. (I don't have the screen output, but thankfully there is now dpkg.log.) Actually, even my initial bug report had a clue I missed. It is not the postinst of libghc6-c2hs-dev that failed, it is the prerm. Here are the relevant excerpts of dpkg.log: 2006-05-05 14:51:42 upgrade ghc6 6.4.1-2 6.4.1-2.1 2006-05-05 14:51:42 status half-configured ghc6 6.4.1-2 2006-05-05 14:51:44 status unpacked ghc6 6.4.1-2 2006-05-05 14:51:44 status half-installed ghc6 6.4.1-2 2006-05-05 14:51:46 status half-installed ghc6 6.4.1-2 2006-05-05 14:51:48 status unpacked ghc6 6.4.1-2.1 2006-05-05 14:51:48 status unpacked ghc6 6.4.1-2.1 ... 2006-05-05 14:52:17 upgrade libghc6-c2hs-dev 0.13.6-4 0.13.6-4.1 2006-05-05 14:52:17 status half-configured libghc6-c2hs-dev 0.13.6-4 ... 2006-05-05 14:54:48 status unpacked ghc6 6.4.1-2.1 2006-05-05 14:54:48 status half-configured ghc6 6.4.1-2.1 2006-05-05 14:54:49 status installed ghc6 6.4.1-2.1 So the sequence was - ghc6.prerm, removing the ghc-pkg alternative. - unpack the new ghc6 - libghc6-c2hs-dev.prerm, failing to ghc-pkg unregister - ghc6.postinst, reinstalling the ghc-pkg alternative There were a few related packages involved, c2hs, ghc6-prof, ghc6-libsrc, but I don't think they matter. > You probably encountered some circular dependency during your upgrade > which was broken somewhere by apt and caused this.

I will append the aptitude log for this run so you can inspect the full graph. I don't know off hand how to tell if there was a circular dependency, but I don't think there was one involving ghc and c2hs.
