Right.
If we could at least list the names (and commands to reinstall ) packages that are about to break (all haskell-* on the system), that might be nice.
Essentially, something like:
"WARNING: the following packages will need to be reinstalled: pacman -Qs haskell
If I understand it correctly all libraries need to be reinstalled and executables can stay. Is naming convention designed in such a way that "pacman -Qs haskell" should get the same result as "pacman -Qi ghc |grep '^Required By'"? Peter.
