Package: libghc6-binary-dev
Version: 0.4.1-3
Severity: important
Hi,
If the user running the install script has a local version of the binary
package installed, then the installation script fails, due to ghc-pkg being
called with incorrect arguments.
More specifically, in the postinst script, OLDVERSION ends up with multiple
versions, and ghc-pkg receives an extra argument:
OLDVERSION=`$GHC_PKG --global field binary version 2> /dev/null | sed
"s/version: //"`
if [ -n "$OLDVERSION" ] ; then
$GHC_PKG --global hide binary-$OLDVERSION
fi
(--global, for some reason, still reads the user's package.conf)
Since, as far as Debian's concerned, only one version of haskell-binary can be
installed, a simple workaround would be to avoid messing with the exposed field
of the packages and just adopt the approach used by e.g. haskell-mtl.
Cheers,
/Liyang
