Package: lhs2tex
Version: 1.13-4.1
Severity: serious
Tags: patch

The current version in unstable is not building on some architectures
because it has been patched to use the Control.OldException module,
which was only introduced in more recent versions of ghc.  The
temporary patch would be to make the ghc6 dependency specify >= 6.12.1.
This means that lhs2tex is not currently found in testing.

This problem equally affects the version 1.14-1 in experimental, and
this could be patched by applying the same change to the sources as
the 1.13-4.1 NMU introduced.

However, the best way of fixing this problem is to update to version
1.15 of upstream, which has corrected the sources to take account of
the newer Exception module.

The only Debian-related change needed appears to be:

debian/control:
Build-Depends: increase the ghc6 dependency to (>= 6.12.1) and remove
the libghc6-utf8-string-dev dependency (it is now provided by ghc6)

The only other required change I found when investigating this was
that the homepage has moved to http://people.cs.uu.nl/andres/lhs2tex/;
this affects both debian/control (Homepage field) and
debian/copyright.

Please do consider releasing this version to unstable so that the
package can progress through to testing.
