6.10.4 is a bug fix release. A bug fix release cannot remove packages
no matter what state the platform is in, that's just seriously broken.

Not part of the core libs, so these are slowly disappearing from the extralibs bundled shipped with GHC (in favour of the platform bundle).
The 6.10.3 windows installer is due out June 1.

Hi,
I just downloaded the Windows snapshot of 6.10.3.20090526, and found that mtl and network don't seem to be included.
$ ghc-pkg list c:/ghc/ghc-6.10.3.20090526\package.conf: Cabal-1.6.0.1, Cabal-1.6.0.3, Win32-2.2.0.0, array-0.2.0.0, base-3.0.3.1, base-4.1.0.0, bytestring-0.9.1.4, containers-0.2.0.1, directory-1.0.0.3, extensible-exceptions-0.1.1.0, filepath-1.1.0.2, (ghc-6.10.3.20090526), ghc-prim-0.1.0.0, haddock-2.4.2, haskell98-1.0.1.0, hpc-0.5.0.3, integer-0.1.0.1, old-locale-1.0.0.1, old-time-1.0.0.2, packedstring-0.1.0.1, pretty-1.0.1.0, process-1.0.1.1, random-1.0.0.1, rts-1.0, syb-0.1.0.1, template-haskell-2.3.0.1, time-1.1.2.4
In addition, I can't install network under Cygwin, Mingw, or the Windows command line. Here are the errors from Cygwin:
Preprocessing library network-2.2.1.2... In file included from Network\BSD.hsc:17: include/HsNet.h:78:22: sys/uio.h: No such file or directory include/HsNet.h:81:25: sys/socket.h: No such file or directory include/HsNet.h:84:26: netinet/tcp.h: No such file or directory include/HsNet.h:87:25: netinet/in.h: No such file or directory include/HsNet.h:90:21: sys/un.h: No such file or directory include/HsNet.h:93:24: arpa/inet.h: No such file or directory include/HsNet.h:96:19: netdb.h: No such file or directory In file included from Network\BSD.hsc:17: include/HsNet.h:138: error: syntax error before "addr" include/HsNet.h: In function `my_inet_ntoa': include/HsNet.h:146: error: storage size of 'a' isn't known include/HsNet.h:147: error: `addr' undeclared (first use in this function) include/HsNet.h:147: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once include/HsNet.h:147: error: for each function it appears in.) include/HsNet.h:148: warning: return makes pointer from integer without a cast Network\BSD.hsc: In function `main': Network\BSD.hsc:145: error: invalid application of `sizeof' to incomplete type ` servent'
And Mingw:
* Missing header file: HsNet.h This problem can usually be solved by installing the system package that provides this library (you may need the "-dev" version). If the library is already installed but in a non-standard location then you can use the flags --extra-include-dirs= and --extra-lib-dirs= to specify where it is. cabal.exe: Error: some packages failed to install: network-2.2.1.2 failed during the configure step. The exception was: exit: ExitFailure 1
And Windows command line:
Resolving dependencies... Configuring network-2.2.1.2... cabal: Error: some packages failed to install: network-2.2.1.2 failed during the configure step. The exception was: sh: runProcess: does not exist (No such file or directory)
Was removal of these packages on the stable branch was an oversight? Could network at the very least be reinstated soon? I'd love to report back whether the GHC 6.10.4 fixes work or not in practice.
Thanks
