I'm afraid I don't understand: there's no Pretty module in the standard libraries, only Text.PrettyPrint.
There is a Pretty module in the text package. It seems that Michael uses "ghc -package text".
Ok (text package is deprecated, of course). But still it seems to work for me: GHC 6.4.1 and later find the local Pretty before the text package one.

In fact, I use -package text. But how come that this package is deprecated? There is a lot of stuff in it. Moreover, I never got a warning that it is deprecated. In contrast, I am being told that I should replace 'import Html' by 'import Text.Html', e.g.
Deprecation warnings seem to be working fine: $ ghc -c Foo.hs -package text Foo.hs:2:0: Warning: Module `Pretty' is deprecated: This module has moved to Text.PrettyPrint.HughesPJ Also, the documentation for the text package clearly states in several places that the modules it contains are deprecated.
As to the fact, that you cannot reproduce my problem, two explanations come to mind: Either the Debian package does not really contain 6.4.1 or the problem arises from my specific combination of parameters, which I do not have at hand right now, unfortunately.
Ok, if you encounter the problem again in the future, please save the details and send them to us. Cheers, Simon
