ok, figured this out by adding all the dependencies of ghc6 to profiles/ci3725.downloads ... this revealed that libreadline5-dev, which is a dependency of ghc6, couldn't be resolved. though i could have skipped this step by just doing the next step... looking at tmp/cd-build/etch/log.list2cds.i386, noticed that libreadline5-dev wasn't being included because it depended on libc-dev, which is a provides of libc6-dev. so, the dependency on a provides without an alternate dependency on a real package did in fact turn out to be a culprit. add libc6-dev to profiles/ci3725.downloads (or .packages) and it should work. will spend some time trying to get provides support, but it's tricky. live well, vagrant -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
