#626: Package build error due to unicode --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: basvandijk | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: hackageDB website | Version: 1.6.0.1 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: | --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- The following packages don't build on hackage due to the same error: * http://hackage.haskell.org/package/regions-0.3 * http://hackage.haskell.org/package/ftdi-0.1 The [http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/regions/0.3/logs/failure/ghc-6.1... log] contains the following error: {{{haddock: internal Haddock or GHC error: dist/doc/html/regions/regions.txt: commitAndReleaseBuffer: invalid argument (Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character)}}} I think the .txt file is generated because of the haddock {{{--hoogle}}} flag. '''Note that these package make heavy use of Unicode syntax and symbols.''' Note that {{{cabal haddock}}} works perferctly on my local system (tested with ghc-6.10.4 + haddock-2.5 + cabal-install-0.6.2 and ghc-6.12.1 + haddock-2.6.0 + cabal-install-0.8.0) -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/626 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
