Re: ghc-pkg check problem in 6.10.2

2009/4/2 Simon Marlow :

I just noticed that the new 'ghc-pkg check' feature exposes a silly mistake in the definition of the rts package that we ship with GHC 6.10.2:

$ ghc-pkg check There are problems in package rts-1.0:  include-dirs: PAPI_INCLUDE_DIR doesn't exist or isn't a directory

...

To fix it, issue this command:

 $ ghc-pkg describe rts | sed 's/PAPI_INCLUDE_DIR//' | ghc-pkg update -

and now "ghc-pkg check" should give no errors:

 $ ghc-pkg check  $

(Except on Windows, where there also seems to be a problem with the Haddock package.  Haddock itself is ok, but the Haddock library has some problems with its registration.)

Oh, which problems? David
