#10785: ghc-pkg appends colon to db path when piped/redirected -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: jgertm | Owner: jgertm Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: ghc-pkg | Version: 7.10.2 Resolution: | Keywords: colon pipe | redirect ghc-pkg list newcomer Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: Other | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by thomie): * keywords: colon pipe redirect ghc-pkg list => colon pipe redirect ghc- pkg list newcomer Comment: That should be an easy fix for a newcomer. The function to change is `listPackages` in `utils/ghc-pkg/Main.hs`. Also test what happens on a broken package, and notice hidden packages are currently printed differently as well: {{{ $ ghc-pkg list | grep ghc-7.10.2 /opt/ghc/7.10.2/lib/ghc-7.10.2/package.conf.d: (ghc-7.10.2) }}} As a workaround, use: `ghc-pkg list --simple-output`. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10785#comment:1 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
