Right, sorry for not including more details.  So what I'm trying to do is get all the needed packages for adding taffybar built.  The first I tried with was HStringTemplate.  My last attempt at doing this looking a bit like

# just getting started, making sure I can build from a clean repo
$ git clone git://github.com/archhaskell/habs.git
$ cd habs
$ cblrepo sync
$ cblrepo pkgbuild --ghc-version 7.8.2-1 $(cblrepo build base|tail -n +2)
$ ./makeahpkg -c -- $(cblrepo build base | tail -n +2)

# that worked, no problem, so now I try adding HStringTemplate
$ cblrepo add HStringTemplate,0.7.3
$ cblrepo pkgbuild --ghc-version 7.8.2-1 HStringTemplate
$ ./makeahpkg -c -- HStringTemplate

This ended up giving me a checksum error on the haskell-mtl package.

If I instead do the last step with the `./makeahpkg -c -- $(cblrepo build base | tail -n +2)` everything builds without a hitch.  At first I thought I had to clean out all the previously built packages using `git clean -fd`, but that turns out to not be the case.  Do I just need to include all the HStringTemplate dependencies when trying to build it?

Thanks,
Rich

No, you should absolutely *not* have to rebuild everything after
adding a single package!

I'm not really sure I understand what commands you are running, or
even what it is you are trying to accomplish.  With a bit more
information I might be able to help better.

Perl is another example of filling a tiny, short-term need, and then
being a real problem in the longer term.
