Hi Joachim,

Thanks for your kind offer of an NMU.

However, I went to upload haskell-utf8-string yesterday but could not
build the documentation due to (what appears to be) a bug in haddock:

   ****************************************** 
   BUILDING libghc6-utf8-string-doc FOR haddock
   ****************************************** 

  Preprocessing library utf8-string-0.3.4...
  Running Haddock for utf8-string-0.3.4...
  Warning: The documentation for the following packages are not
   installed.
  Np links will be generated to these packages: rts-1.0
  Preprocessing library utf8-string-0.3.4...
  haddock: out of memory (requested 6579890946048 bytes)
  dh_haskell_build: command returned error code 256
  make: *** [install] Error 1
  dpkg-buildpackage: failure: fakeroot debian/rules binary gave error
                                                        exit status 2
  debuild: fatal error at line 1319:
  dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -D -us -uc failed

Note the rather silly amount of requested memory. I would have reported
this yesterday but I knew there were some amd64 issues with 6.10, so I
was going to wait it out a few days to see if it just fixed itself.

Do you have any insight on this?

*nod* I was going to look into this; thank-you for the pointer and
reminder. If you can easily provide a patch, please file it as a
seperate bug and I will be sure to include it, otherwise I will
investigate for myself.


Best regards,
