Re: [arch-haskell] help upgrading packages

I had a similar issue with a large number of packages. I ended up removing and re-installing my entire Haskell ecosystem, and now things work again.

Normally this should never happen. It's because Haskell is very strict on dependencies (despite being lazy on other things). In this case the reason was that those packages were added to the repository [haskell-core] with initial release number set to 1, although

I removed those immediately from [haskell-happstack] to avoid duplicate work, but they must also be manually removed from local, since pacman always keeps the highest version-release. In order to avoid this kind of issues in the future we should either have a policy to coordinate work between different haskell repositories, or merge everything into a unique repository and call it simply [haskell].

I note the absence of certain packages like haskell-buildwrapper (which EclipseFP tools needs) - and reading the wiki, it seems confusing at this time whether the Haskell tinkerer / developer should just be using cabal-install to install all required packages (even though I know that cabal is not a package management system) or... what?

Personally I don't like installing things using cabal-install because in my opinion the distro package manager should always be in charge.

What are other Haskell developers here doing currently?

kind regards, Dawid Loubser

http-conduit and its dependencies moved from haskell-happstack to haskell-core and at that time the package release number reset to one. You have to manually uninstall and reinstall those packages.

I was hoping someone might help me with an issuing I'm having doing a system upgrade. When I run pacman -Syu, I get:

I really have no idea what to do with this or what would have caused it. I'm sure it's some important misunderstanding on my part. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
