I thought 6.10 came with Cabal as well, and that it was dealt with by having 'ghc' provide 'haskell-cabal' in Arch. These points are all true, but yaourt (the tool most people use and what's recommended in the wiki) doesn't seem to respect this and it seems kind of odd to me to have haskell-cabal an an explicit dep when none of ghc's other known provided packages are made explicit. Finally and most importantly, the main issue is that these are literally the only dependencies being generated. For example, many new 6.12 packages require mtl, but that's not being placed in the depends array.

This is a simple change in cabal2arch:

corePackages :: [Dependency] ... -- removed: ,Dependency (PackageName "mtl") (ThisVersion (Version [1,1,0,2] [])) ...

But I'll hold off on sending a patch right away, since I think that other core packages (those provided by ghc-6.12) have also changed.

Right, that's the usual 'ghc major update' diff. I'll take care of it. The list just has to match this page: http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Libraries_released_with_GHC -- Don
