We've diverted the thread a little bit from my original question which seems still unanswered yet.

Does it mean currently there is no reliable cure for the update problem?

Now I updated to ghc-7.6 and the method I already exposed just worked.

1. pacman -Rcs ghc 2. rm -r /usr/share/doc/ghc 3. pacman -S ghc cabal-install haskell-whatever

Those file wasn't in any package before, so point 2 is mandatory.

Thanks mate, this worked well for me. Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net
