From the ghc downloads page it says the Debian packages are in Debian testing and unstable (I assume 'testing' is the one people are supposed to use(?)).
For GHC debs, they're currently identical.
I've managed to get ghc by itself by just browsing the Debian testing repo at http://packages.debian.org/testing/devel/ but the problem arises when I try to get the library packages, since some of them eg libghc6-base-dev, libghc6-base-prof are not listed there (also not found in the unstable repo at the corresponding url above).
base is provided by the ghc6 and ghc6-prof packages; see the output of
$ dpkg -s ghc6 | grep Provides $ dpkg -s ghc6-prof | grep Provides
for the complete list they provide.
Thanks - perhaps the problem was that I'd installed ghc6 directly instead of putting it into my local repo along with the libraries. However after putting the ghc6 package into my repo and uninstalling it (so I can re-install it properly from the beginning) I'm now stumped by another problem: where to find the GPG key needed to authenticate the packages? I can't find any info on the debian.org website about where to find the key or what command to use to tell apt about it. Do you know where the GPG key for the repo can be found? I've spent hours googling with no luck. Thanks, Brian.
