#8741: `System.Directory.getPermissions` fails on read-only filesystem -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: hvr | Owner: AlainODea Type: bug | Status: closed Priority: high | Milestone: 7.8.1 Component: libraries/unix | Version: 7.8.1-rc1 Resolution: fixed | Keywords: Operating System: POSIX | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: Incorrect result | Difficulty: Easy (less than 1 at runtime | hour) Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by AlainODea): Quick curiousity: why is this merged to 7.8 instead of a bugfix on 7.6.3? This makes cabal unusable on SmartOS when the packages being installed need to do native builds since it crashes on getPermissions to /usr/bin/ld. Haskell Platform 2013.2.0.0 has GHC 7.6.3. I think this means I can't use Haskell Platform on SmartOS without manually patching the unix library which seems hackish. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8741#comment:8 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
