Broken packages after upgrading to Ubuntu 13.04
Hello, using the OS-specific Haskell packages of the Ubuntu distribution, I have some cabal packages installed in addition, e.g. hmatrix etc. After an upgrade to Ubuntu 13.04 most of these cabal packages are broken because some dependencies do not exist anymore or have been upgraded also, respectively. With ghc-pkg check I get messages like There are problems in package hmatrix-0.14.0.1: dependency "array-0.4.0.0-0b32f6f98c0297dbb0e5cfc0087bd1f0" doesn't exist dependency "base-4.5.0.0-c8e7184681d410015e93df85fc49e9dd" doesn't exist .... Actually now array-0.4.0.1 is installed etc. What is the recommended way to repair this? Should I do a --reinstall of the cabal packages (which should mostly also work with the upgraded dependencies)? Any hint would be welcome! Best regards Johannes Engels

You have a different version of array, so you most likely have a different version of GHC. That means you have to rebuild your cabal packages. Check with the --dry-run flag first, $ cabal install world --dry-run whether cabal finds a consistent install plan. But that ghc-pkg check searches the package-db of the previous version irritates me. It should see that that is from an older version and ignore it.

I haven't looked at the non-GHC haskell packages in ubuntu (I install a bdist GHC, which includes cabal-install, and use that or cabal-dev to install deps) but note that GHC went from7.4.x to 7.6.x between ubuntu 12.10 and 13.03 and so it wouldn't be surprising if this alone caused build failures of some modules. -- Benjamin Jones benjaminfjones@gmail.com On Tue, Apr 30, 2013 at 1:05 AM, Johannes Engels < johannes.engels@hft-stuttgart.de> wrote:
