Hey, The GHC provides, http://repos.archlinux.org/wsvn/packages/ghc/repos/extra-x86_64/PKGBUILD say that GHC 6.12 ships with: "haskell-utf8-string=0.3.4" And this is what ghc-pkg reports: $ ghc-pkg list utf8-string /usr/lib/ghc-6.12.1/package.conf.d utf8-string-0.3.4 However, the Arch page says 0.3.6-2 http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/haskell-utf8-string/ Something funny is going on (I think GHC shipped an old version of utf8-string, which will conflict when we install the one from [extra]. Anyone know what to do? -- Don

It doesn't conflict, and things work out just fine when you install utf8-string-0.3.6: $ pacman -Q haskell-utf8-string haskell-utf8-string 0.3.6-2.1 $ ghc-pkg list utf8-string /usr/lib/ghc-6.12.1/package.conf.d utf8-string-0.3.4 utf8-string-0.3.6 And I have not run into any problems with packages that depend on utf8-string-0.3.6 (ex. xmonad), while ghci doesn't seem to have problems picking a specific version when you load any of the modules provided by utf8-string (probably it loads the newest, but I have not checked). -- Adam
