#13945: 'ghc-pkg update' fails due to bad file descriptor error ---------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: mpickering | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: infoneeded Priority: high | Milestone: 8.2.2 Component: Compiler | Version: 8.2.1-rc3 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Linux | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Phab:D3897 Wiki Page: | ---------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Changes (by bgamari): * status: patch => infoneeded Comment: My testing suggests that comment:14 should be sufficient to fix this. It would be great if someone could confirm this. Note that in my experience it is the boot compiler's `ghc-pkg` that fails, so you will need to build a new compiler with this patch and use it to bootstrap another tree to test this. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13945#comment:16 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
