The bug specifically occurs when I am installing one of its dependencies via stack: "stack install gtk2hs-buildtools". The error I get is: ghc-cabal: Cannot find the program 'ghc'. User-specified path '/home/athas/sandbox/ghc-8.2.2/inplace/bin/ghc-stage1' does not refer to an executable and the program is not on the system path. Is there some possibility that this bug is solved in the near future? (GHC 8.4.1 is just released, and I assume the problem still exists there - although I am yet to install the same on my machine.) -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14021#comment:13 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

I notice that the packages are for Ubuntu, and I am using OpenSUSE on WSL.

This seems to have something to do with the way the modification time is treated in a tar extraction. Tested on my machine with the command used by stack: * Extracting the tarball on ext4 preserves the modification time - the package `.cabal` files are correctly older than the `setup-config` files * Extracting the tarball on ntfs mounted with ntfs-3g makes the modification time equal to the extraction time, and possibly due to the extraction order the `.cabal` file ends up newer than the `setup-config` file If the `setup-config` file is older than the `.cabal` file by modification time, the `reconfigure` step triggers in `Distribution.Simple.getBuildConfig`, and that causes the error in the report, though I don't know why. Otherwise, the package install is successful. There's a temporary work- around where you can just `touch` the `setup-config` file for each package to get around this problem. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14021#comment:17 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
