Hi, I am wondering if someone can point me to instructions that might allow me to navigate the current issues with ghc-related pkgs? Basically, when I type pacman -Syu, it doesn't work and it would be great if instead what it did was act normal and update my installed packages. I'd provide more detail on my particular error message etc., but I have a totally plain haskell-platform install plust stuff I've installed through cabal and it seems like it's probably obvious to those involved why that no longer works and causes pacman to freak out.
From what little I've gathered reading some posts on this list and elsewhere, there seems to be some disagreement over what goes where and why. It sounds really important and I'm sure that, in its own way, it's fascinating. However, with limited time on my hands, what would be absolutely awesome is if some instructions showed up that told me how to magically move back to a tenable arch installation without becoming deeply entrenched in the "whys" for the changes.
Thanks in advance!
