<div>error: command failed to execute correctly</div></div><div><br></div><div>I get similar errors when I try to install haskell-http,mtl,network,parsec,random,text,transformers etc. These are all the packages that I installed previously, which worked fine and I somehow removed them. I don&#39;t know how I did that. They do not show up in ghc-pkg list. And that is the error that&#39;s being reported. From the above message I gather that these packages are not actually installed, pacman thinks they are and ghc thinks they are not. I should make pacman think they are not installed and reinstall them again.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Or it might be other way around. They <b>are</b> actually present (most probably indicated by the Net Upgrade Size: 0.00 MiB). Pacman could be right but those packages are not registered with ghc. Then I should find a way to register those packages with ghc. I think, the register.sh, unregister.sh in /usr/share/haskell folder allow me to do that. But before I realized this, I deleted the whole folder thinking it&#39;d regenerate itself when I install them again. I know that was stupid.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I tried removing those packages using pacman -R haskell-http etc. They won&#39;t get removed. Same error.</div><div><br></div><div>I have one solution in mind, install cabal-install and install all those packages via cabal-install. Then, they&#39;d get registered with ghc-pkg and removing them or reinstalling them via pacman would be possible. But I&#39;m sure there&#39;s a better way. Can you tell me which one it is?</div>
<div><br></div><div>P.S: I think (I&#39;m not sure) this situation got created when I ran pacman -S ghc after I installed all these pacakges. Could this be the problem or I&#39;m talking nonsense?</div><div><br clear="all">
