 Please have a look and make sure it's installable again.

libghc6-haskell-src-dev depends ghc6 (>= 6.6), ghc6 (< 6.6+), but ghc6 is version 6.6.1.
The package builds and installs after running update-haskell-control. Can someone do this please?

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

Anders: are you saying that a simple rebuild fixes it?

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

How do you invoke update-haskell-control on it? Can you do a debdiff?

This is what I get:
daniel@bert:~/haskell-haskell-src-1.0$ update-haskell-control --update
Unbound variable ghc6_lib_bdeps at line 6, character 59
daniel@bert:~/haskell-haskell-src-1.0$

Hi,

I'll look into this (but probably not before the weekend). So if you're faster with a debdiff, that would be most welcome ;).

Cheers,
   Stefan.

@Daniel: FWIW you'll need to have the build-dependencies installed, as update-haskell-control will get the versions from the registered package files IIRC (though I might be wrong about the details, as it was quite some time ago when I looked at update-haskell-control).

uploaded. Do I need to milestone this or something, now that we're in deep freeze?
