It seems to me that the stm library that is supposed to be built into ghc-7.8.1 is missing. The deb provides and conflicts with libghc-stm-dev , but does not provide libghc-stm-dev-2.4.2.1-abcde.
this seems to be the result of a possible inadvertent change in the GHC source tarball creation: stm had been a "extra" lib already in 7.6 and before, but was not part of the tarball. Herbert or Austin, is the sdist code not doing the right thing here?

Huh. I've just been assuming STM is a user land lib! Been installing it
from hackage...

Afaics, 'stm' is only used as an "extra" lib by testsuite (and only for one test-case) and nofib; therefore I don't think the GHC source tarball is supposed to contain 'stm'...

precisely. So someone needs to remove it. Created https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8801 so that it is not forgotten. Greetings, Joachim -- Joachim Breitner e-Mail: mail@joachim-breitner.de Homepage: http://www.joachim-breitner.de Jabber-ID: nomeata@joachim-breitner.de
